Analyst projections of the future price of CenterPoint Energy stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

CenterPoint’s Houston utility submitted large-load projects totalling 17 GW, with about 14 GW expected to qualify for ERCOT’s process. If connected, that would exceed 65% of current peak demand and support an expected rate-base growth rate above 18% over the next three years. (SEC)
The company beat analysts’ second-quarter profit estimates and maintained its 2026 earnings guidance of $1.89–$1.91 per share, implying about 8% growth at the midpoint. It also kept its long-term annual earnings-growth target at 7%–9%. (Reuters, SEC)
Regulatory trackers help turn investment into earnings: management said about 85% of investments are recovered through these mechanisms, while rate recovery added $0.10 per share year on year in Q2. That can soften the earnings drag from the company’s heavy spending programme. (Stock Analysis)
Houston delivery charges rose again in October, while more frequent rate adjustments leave customers and local groups less time to scrutinise utility filings. That can make further cost recovery more politically contentious. (Click2Houston)
The Houston load-growth thesis is not fully secured: the 14 GW figure is expected to qualify, but ERCOT verification and final allocations remain ahead. Delays or smaller allocations could leave planned investment and earnings growth ahead of actual customer connections. (BofA Global Research, Utility Dive)
CenterPoint’s ten-year capital plan now totals $66.7 billion, leaving the company exposed to funding costs as it expands its regulated assets. Company-wide finance charges, excluding securitisation, rose 26% in Q2, which could erode returns if borrowing costs stay high. (Reuters, Financial Report Insights)
