Rhea-AI Summary

Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) reported first quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $483 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to $488 million, or $0.88 per share in Q1 2024. The company reaffirmed its 2025 ongoing EPS guidance of $3.75 to $3.85.

Total operating revenues increased to $3,906 million from $3,649 million, with electric revenues rising to $2,835 million and natural gas revenues to $1,055 million. The earnings decline was primarily due to higher O&M expenses, depreciation, and interest charges, partially offset by increased infrastructure investment recovery.
