Rhea AI CNP FY2025 2026-10-03

CenterPoint converts operating earnings into cash, but heavy infrastructure investment and rising leverage keep free cash flow negative.

From FY2023 through FY2025, operating cash flow remained positive while capital expenditures exceeded it each year, leaving free cash flow at -$524M in FY2023 and -$2.4B in FY2025; the business is investing beyond internally generated cash. Over the same span, liabilities expanded while debt-to-equity stayed near 1.8x, indicating that asset growth has relied substantially on creditor financing rather than accumulated cash.

Revenue increased 8.2% in FY2025 while operating margin slipped to 22.6%; incremental sales therefore did not improve operating efficiency. Net income rose only 3.2% as interest expense reached $903M, showing financing costs absorbed much of the operating gain.

The current ratio fell below 1.0x in FY2025, meaning current liabilities exceeded current assets at year-end. Capital expenditures of $4.9B versus operating cash flow of $2.5B adds short-term funding pressure to an already asset-heavy model.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 45/100

Scored as: Utilities peer group

Scored against utilities for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of CenterPoint Energy, Inc.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. has an operating margin of 22.6%, meaning the company retains $23 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 58/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 23.0% the prior year.

Growth

CenterPoint Energy, Inc.'s revenue grew 8.3% year-over-year to $9.4B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 41/100.

Leverage

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.84), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 16/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 0.91, CenterPoint Energy, Inc. holds $0.91 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 67/100.

Cash Flow

While CenterPoint Energy, Inc. generated $2.5B in operating cash flow, capex of $4.9B consumed most of it, leaving -$2.4B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 21/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. earns a strong 9.4% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $9 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 68/100. This is down from 9.6% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

0.85

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. scores 0.85, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($26.7B) relative to total liabilities ($35.4B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.36x

For every $1 of reported earnings, CenterPoint Energy, Inc. generates $2.36 in operating cash flow ($2.5B OCF vs $1.1B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.34x

CenterPoint Energy, Inc. earns $2.34 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($2.1B vs $903.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
