## Southern Company (NYSE: SO) — Research Summary

As of October 11, 2026, SO trades near $86 on the NYSE, down roughly 2.5% over the prior 30 days and well off its 52-week high of $99.58 (it has traded as low as $81.69 over the past year) [[4]](https://midforex.com/stocks/so-forecast). Across the period covered, the stock has drifted lower — from around $88 in early September [[2]](https://www.ad-hoc-news.de/boerse/news/corporate-news/southern-company-stock-holds-at-88-as-investors-digest-recent-earnings-and-outlook/70034748) to a low near $82.88, roughly a 7.7% 30-day decline and ~14.7% quarterly drop — as investors reconciled a powerful electricity-demand story with heavier capital spending, borrowing costs, and a lower credit rating [[1]](https://tickeron.com/ticker/SO/). (Note minor inconsistencies across data providers on exact price levels, decline magnitudes, and market cap — figures like $99B–$107B vary by snapshot date and methodology — so these should be treated as directional rather than precise.)
