What changed

Several developments are incremental to the prior quarter. Oncor disclosed a 127 GW large-load queue with 271 GW tied to data-center customers, dramatically expanding its load base. ERCOT awarded approximately $2.9 billion of South Dallas transmission projects, directly adding to the $10 billion incremental capex bucket. On the infrastructure side, Cimarron Wind reached commercial operation and ECA LNG entered startup with first LNG expected imminently. Oncor received PUCT approval for a higher authorized ROE and filed its inaugural UTM to reduce regulatory lag. The SI Partners transaction is now expected to close in Q2/Q3 2026, and the Ecogas sale is targeted for mid-2026.

Guidance delta

Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.80 to $5.30 and 2027 guidance of $5.10 to $5.70 were both reaffirmed. Guidance sentiment is maintained with no change from the prior quarter.

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.
