Balanced Outlook on CenterPoint Energy: Strong Growth Potential Amid Valuation and Execution RisksWe highlight takeaways below. Raised and extended EPS growth guidance to 7-9% through 2035 - Places CNP among fastest growing utilities. CNP raised its '25 EPS guidance range by a penny to $1.75-$1.77 (from $1.74-$1.76), with the midpoint now representing +9% growth from 2024 results (previously +8%). The company also initiated '26 EPS guidance of $1.89-$1.91 and raised and extended annual EPS growth guidance to 7-9% through 2035 (from 6-8% annually through 2030). Management expects earnings to be in the mid-to-high end of the range for 2026-2028. CNP is unique in having 10 years of visibility into sustaining well above average EPS growth, and we note this outlook is not particularly dependent on data center growth in the company's service territory.
