Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Data Center BacklogAnalyst notes a materially increased contracted and high-probability data center backlog, improving visibility into future sales growth and supporting a higher conversion of projects into revenue.
Rate Case OutcomeAnalyst reports a favorable regulatory rate decision that provides a stable allowed return on equity and a material revenue increase, enhancing cash flow predictability and capital recovery.
Strategic PartnershipsAnalyst highlights alliances with major partners that strengthen the company's ability to build generation and transmission projects and to co-develop capacity needed to serve very large data center customers.
Bears Say
Contract Execution RiskAnalyst notes that a new data center agreement requires regulatory filing and commission approval, introducing execution risk before the contract delivers full commercial benefits.
Regulatory DisallowancesAnalyst highlights significant regulatory disallowances for capital investments, rate of return adjustments, and nuclear decommissioning accruals that could reduce recoverable costs and compress earnings.
Resource Plan Approval UncertaintyAnalyst warns that conducting regulatory review of the resource plan in tranches creates uncertainty about which projects will be approved and the timing of approvals, potentially delaying project execution.

XEL Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed a broadly positive operational and financial story: 2025 ongoing earnings beat, record capital investment, robust renewables/transmission milestones, expanding data center contracts (now >2 GW with 3 GW by 2026 and 6 GW by 2027 targets), and strategic partnerships (NextEra, GE Vernova) to accelerate execution. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance and attractive long-term growth. Headwinds include a $300M wildfire charge (impacting GAAP), elevated O&M and insurance costs (+$190M), higher interest and depreciation that reduced EPS, outstanding wildfire liabilities (low-end estimate $430M), and timing risk that much of the data-center-driven sales/capex will flow in the 2029–2030+ timeframe. Regulatory and political timing (rate case outcomes, state elections) also present execution/timing uncertainty. Overall, positives (consistent earnings, large investment pipeline, renewables/transmission wins, data center momentum, strategic alliances) outweigh the manageable lowlights and near-term expense/headwind items.View all XEL earnings summariesXEL Revenue Breakdown
