Xcel Energy Holds 2026 Outlook and Signs Major Clean Energy Deal With Google Xcel Energy reported Q1 2026 GAAP EPS of $0.89 and ongoing EPS of $0.91, broadly in line with analyst expectations despite a revenue result that came in slightly below estimates.
The company reaffirmed its 2026 ongoing EPS guidance range of $4.04 to $4.16 and highlighted a capital investment plan above $14b, with $3b already invested in Q1.
Xcel Energy signed a 15-year clean energy contract with Google for 1,900 MW of wind, solar and long-duration storage capacity, which the company projects will lead to $1b to $1.5b in customer savings over the term.
For investors, the key takeaway is that management kept full-year EPS guidance intact while continuing to deploy large amounts of capital into its system. The Q1 earnings mix reflects both growth drivers such as higher electric sales tied to data centers and economic development, and headwinds such as warm weather, higher operating costs, financing expenses and depreciation.
The Google agreement stands out because Google is expected to fund all related infrastructure, while Xcel Energy still adds 1,900 MW of clean capacity and cites a projected $1b to $1.5b in customer savings over 15 years. Management also points to more than $7b in additional potential capital projects beyond the current plan. Investors watching this stock may want to focus on how regulators treat these investments, how the data center demand trend evolves, and whether the company can manage costs and financing needs alongside such a large build-out.

Great River Energy, ITC Midwest and Xcel Energy Propose 765 KV Transmission Line Project with Application for Certificate of Need Great River Energy, ITC Midwest and Xcel Energy proposed a series of new electric transmission lines that will help deliver continued reliable electricity for energy consumers throughout the region and connect new sources of electricity to the grid to serve increasing and evolving demands for electricity. Today, the project partners submitted an application for a Certificate of Need for PowerOn Midwest to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC). PowerOn Midwest is a series of new electric transmission projects anchored by a 765 kilovolt (kV) backbone transmission line that will connect to the existing transmission grid in eastern South Dakota, travel across southern Minnesota and connect to the broader regional grid. In Minnesota, the 765 kV line will connect the Lakefield, Pleasant Valley and North Rochester substations in Jackson, Mower and Olmstead counties. These projects are essential to move large volumes of electricity from where it’s generated to where it’s needed, ensuring reliable energy delivery in all seasons, at all times. This new infrastructure can accommodate energy from all sources — helping communities thrive as energy needs change. The projects were part of the portfolio approved in December 2024 by the region’s grid operator, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), as part of the second set of projects in its Long Range Transmission Plan. In this historic portfolio, MISO approved 24 transmission projects including several 345 kV projects in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as this 765 kV transmission backbone infrastructure. The companies jointly held 17 public open houses in Minnesota and numerous stakeholder meetings over the past year to provide opportunities for engagement with landowners, local governments, agencies and Tribal Nations. Pending approval of the Certificate of Need application in Minnesota, the companies will work closely with landowners and communities throughout the project area to seek input that will help determine the best line route to propose in their future Route Permit application. Planning for the future: The way companies generate and use electricity is changing — and demand is growing due to new homes, businesses, technologies and industries. Modern, expanded transmission systems like PowerOn Midwest will help ensure continued reliable electricity every hour of every day. Route options are still in development and the companies will work with landowners as that process continues. Route Permit applications will be filed with the MPUC in 2027. Project development continues in South Dakota where a Facility Permit is expected to be filed later in 2026. Subject to regulatory approvals, the companies expect construction of the transmission line to begin by 2030 and the line to be operational in 2034. In addition to the proposed 765 kV projects, two 345 kV projects are included in the Certificate of Need application. The companies would rebuild an existing single-circuit 345 kV line between Pleasant Valley and North Rochester substation, and add a second circuit to the existing 345 kV transmission line between the Hampton and North Rochester substations.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.1% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.3x net interest cover). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.1% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Nov 01
