What changed

Q1 operating EPS of $0.95 (GAAP $0.69) beat the $0.90 consensus by 5.3%, and revenue of $5.02 billion exceeded the $4.43 billion estimate by 13.3%. CVOW reached over 75% completion and delivered first power in March, with the project budget reduced by approximately $100 million to $11.4 billion. Virginia passed HB 895 and SB 448, raising the grid-scale storage target from 3 GW to 20 GW by 2045. Data center contracted demand now exceeds 50 GW with 10.4 GW under service agreements, up from 48 GW last quarter. The stock's abnormal move on the report day was -1.1% versus a +0.3% benchmark move, followed by a +1.0% drift over the subsequent period.

Guidance delta

All prior guidance was reaffirmed, including the 5-7% long-term EPS growth target with a bias toward the upper half beginning in 2028. Guidance sentiment was maintained and management tone remained confident. The capex outlook continues to increase, supported by the $2 billion battery storage allocation within the $65 billion five-year capital plan and new Virginia storage legislation.

Key takeaways

  • Q1 operating EPS of $0.95 (GAAP $0.69) beat the $0.90 consensus by 5.3%; revenue of $5.02 billion topped estimates by 13.3%.
  • CVOW is over 75% complete, delivered first power in March 2026, and the budget was trimmed ~$100 million to $11.4 billion with $123 million of unused contingency.
  • Virginia battery storage legislation (HB 895/SB 448) raises the grid-scale storage target to 20 GW by 2045 from 3 GW, creating a $2 billion capital-plan opportunity.
  • Data center electricity demand exceeds 50 GW with 10.4 GW under service agreements, up from 48 GW contracted last quarter.
  • Millstone nuclear contract runs through August 2029; Connecticut launched a new RFP, and Dominion is exploring recontracting and expansion beyond 55% of capacity.

Management priorities

  • Complete CVOW turbine installation and commissioning on the 2026-2027 timeline.
  • Accelerate battery storage deployment within the $2 billion allocation and explore long-duration storage technologies.
  • Update the Integrated Resource Plan in fall 2026 to reflect the battery storage ramp.
  • Pursue Millstone nuclear recontracting and potential expansion.
  • Evaluate SMR and AP1000 nuclear options with risk-mitigation principles.
  • Maintain credit strength with FFO-to-debt ratios above 15%.

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
