Description: OTTR Otter Tail November 08, 2025

Otter Tail Corporation (NASDAQ:OTTR) operates three diversified segments-Electric, Manufacturing, and Plastics-serving utility customers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota and producing a range of industrial and consumer products across the United States. The Electric segment generates power from coal, fuel oil, natural gas, solar, and wind, and participates in MISO markets, while the Manufacturing arm provides contract machining, metal stamping, and plastic horticultural containers for RV, agricultural, and construction markets. The Plastics segment produces PVC piping for municipal, rural, and specialty water systems, distributing through wholesalers, independent reps, and direct sales forces.

Key recent metrics: OTTR reported a 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $210 million, reflecting a 12% YoY increase driven by higher renewable generation and strong demand for its PVC pipe products. The utility segment’s regulated return on equity (ROE) sits near 9.5%, consistent with industry averages, while the manufacturing side has seen a 5% margin expansion after cost-saving initiatives. A macro driver worth monitoring is the ongoing shift toward renewable energy credits and state-level clean-energy mandates, which could accelerate OTTR’s solar and wind capacity additions and influence its regulated rate base.
