What the filing says
CenterPoint Energy raised 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $1.90–$1.92 (9% growth vs. 2025) and initiated 2027 guidance of $2.07–$2.09 (9% growth), extending 7–9% annual growth through 2030. The company increased its 10-year capital plan by $4.0 billion to $70.7 billion and accelerated $1.5 billion into 2026–2030 to support 14% rate-base CAGR, driven by Greater Houston industrial load growth (~12 GW by 2030). On October 1, 2026, it completed the sale of its Ohio natural gas LDC business for ~$2.4 billion net proceeds and a $1.4 billion seller's note at 6.5% interest; the company plans to issue ~$4 billion equity through 2030 and maintain FFO/Debt target of 14–15% through 2030.
Why this rating
Significant for a $23.9B company: $4B capital increase (0.17% of market cap) and raised growth guidance are material. Strong execution on large-load demand, proven balance sheet (13.7% FFO/Debt), and disciplined equity financing plan support credibility. Ohio sale redeployment is strategic but modest. Growth pathway and capital intensity are substantial but execution risks remain on load interconnection timing and regulatory approval.
