TXNM Energy Inc is a good buy right now due to its recent earnings performance, with a Q2 EPS of $0.64, significantly up from $0.22 a year ago, and a forward P/E ratio of 17.99, which is attractive compared to its growth potential. The stock is currently trading below the acquisition price of $61.25 set by Blackstone, providing a clear upside opportunity. However, the main risk is the ongoing regulatory challenges related to the merger, which could impact stock performance if delays continue.
