Idacorp Stock Is Still a Buy

There’s no reason to sell Idacorp a year-old Barron’s stock pick. The utility remains a smart way to participate in the growth of U.S. power demand, while getting some dividend income along the way. Barron’s picked Idacorp stock on May 22, 2025, believing the utility serving some 650,000 retail customers in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon would benefit from population inflow and power-hungry artificial-intelligence data centers.
