The Southern Company (SO). Financial advisory institutions such as
Farther Finance Advisors LLC and
Freestone Capital Holdings LLC notably expanded their stakes in the company. While director
Johns and other leaders received
deferred stock unit grants, some shares were sold by firms like
Apollon Wealth Management LLC and
Highline Wealth Partners LLC. Amidst this, Southern Company plans to sell
25,000 common shares via
Merrill Lynch. The Company has performed well in the market, with a nine percent rise this year, and is receiving attention for its
regulated utility model and its
strong dividend. Additionally, the US

downgraded the company's rating, other financial institutions have upgraded their price targets for it. The company has also announced its
Q4 earnings which were seen as disappointing due to increasing costs.
