Bulls say / Bears say
Xcel reported second-quarter 2026 ongoing EPS of $0.93 versus $0.75 a year earlier and reaffirmed full-year 2026 ongoing EPS guidance of $4.04–$4.16, indicating solid near-term execution. (Xcel Energy)
The company’s 2026–2030 plan calls for approximately $60 billion of investment, including 7,500 MW of zero-carbon renewables, more than 1,900 MW of storage, and 3,000 MW of natural-gas generation, supporting regulated rate-base growth. (SEC)
Xcel’s Minnesota agreement to serve a new Google data center could provide approximately $1.1 billion of benefits to NSP-Minnesota customers and supports long-term electricity-demand growth from large-load customers. (Xcel Energy)
Xcel’s second-quarter 2026 results cited higher financing costs as an offset to earnings growth, creating pressure as the company executes a capital-intensive investment program. (Xcel Energy)
Wildfire exposure, potential damages beyond insurance coverage, and the risk that regulators may not allow full cost recovery remain material company-specific risks to earnings and credit metrics. (Xcel Energy)
Recent federal tax-law changes phase out certain wind and solar tax credits for qualifying projects placed in service after 2027 or beginning construction after July 4, 2026, potentially raising costs or reducing returns on Xcel’s clean-energy pipeline. (SEC)
