What the filing says
CenterPoint Energy reported Q2 2026 non-GAAP EPS of $0.40 (vs. $0.29 in Q2 2025), reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $1.89–$1.91 per share, and increased its 10-year capital investment plan by $1.2 billion to $66.7 billion (2026–2035). The company submitted ~17 GW of large load projects via ERCOT's Batch Zero process, of which ~14 GW are expected to be eligible as base or studied load—representing a 65%+ increase vs. current Houston Electric peak demand of 21 GW. Ohio natural gas LDC sale (~$2.6B gross purchase price) received regulatory approval and is expected to close October 2026.
Why this rating
Modest guidance reaffirmation and $1.2B capex increase (1.8% of plan, 5% of market cap) signal growth execution. ~14 GW load additions are material but regulatory-dependent and extend through 2031. Credit metrics stable; equity proceeds still modest.
