Avista Corp is not a strong buy right now due to its current price of $37.66 being above the recent analyst target of $37, and an RSI of 34.25 indicating oversold conditions. The company faces risks from ongoing wildfire damage affecting customer service and regulatory challenges that may impact future earnings. However, the recent increase in Q2 net income to $35 million, up from $14 million a year ago, shows potential for recovery. The main risk is the insider selling activity, which has increased by 195.50% over the last month, indicating a lack of confidence from insiders.
