Strong Core Earnings and Guidance Reaffirmation
Core earnings per share are $0.31 for the second quarter and $0.54 for the first half of 2025. The company reaffirms its full-year guidance range of $1.48 to $1.52, with a bias toward the midpoint, up 10% over 2024.
Data Center Growth
The data center pipeline has grown to 10 gigawatts, representing over 50 projects. This growth is expected to provide significant benefits for customers, including a potential reduction in electric bills by 1% to 2% per gigawatt added.
Affordability Initiatives
The company forecasts residential combined bills to be flat for the remainder of 2025 and declining in 2026. The 2027 general rate case proposal could result in customer bills being flat compared to current bills.
Strong Financial Plan
A $63 billion capital investment plan through 2028 has been reaffirmed, with no further equity issuance planned. The company targets a 20% dividend payout by 2028.
