An announcement from Exelon ( (EXC) ) is now available.

Exelon on Feb. 12, 2026 reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results showing GAAP net income of $0.58 per share and adjusted operating earnings of $0.59 per share for the quarter, yielding full-year GAAP earnings of $2.73 and adjusted earnings of $2.77 per share, up from 2024 despite a modest year-on-year dip in quarterly profit. The company cited higher regulated utility earnings driven by distribution and transmission rate increases, favorable weather at PECO and elevated capital investment, partly offset by higher taxes, interest, depreciation and holding-company costs, including contributions to its Customer Relief Fund.

Management highlighted a $41.3 billion four-year capital expenditure plan expected to deliver 7.9% rate base growth and place operating EPS growth near the top of its 5%–7% target range through 2029, supported by an updated financing strategy that contemplates $3.4 billion of equity issuance over four years. Exelon also initiated 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $2.81–$2.91 per share and noted that all its utilities achieved first-quartile reliability performance on industry outage metrics, reinforcing its grid-modernization narrative and signaling continued balance between shareholder returns, infrastructure spending and customer affordability.
