CenterPoint Energy delivered Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $0.56, a strong start to the year, with rate recovery contributing $0.11 year-over-year offset by a $0.05 impact from Louisiana/Mississippi divestiture earnings drag. Firmly committed load surged from 7.5 GW to 12.2 GW, with 3.2 GW approved by ERCOT, and the Indiana transformational load opportunity added approximately 1.5 GW and roughly $1 billion in CAPEX potential. FY2026 guidance was reiterated at $1.89-$1.91 targeting 8% growth, though FFO-to-debt was temporarily pressured at 12.5%.
