The company’s 8-K reports cover earnings releases, Regulation FD materials, financing agreements, officer and director changes, amendments to governing documents and capital-structure events such as convertible senior notes.
CenterPoint Energy’s proxy materials disclose annual meeting business, director elections, governance provisions, shareholder voting matters and executive-compensation topics. Other filings and exhibits address subsidiary financial and operational information for utility entities such as CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, tying the filing record to the company’s electric, gas and regulated utility operations.
CenterPoint Energy reported higher first quarter 2026 earnings, with GAAP net income of $316 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, up from $0.45 a year earlier. Non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $0.56 from $0.53, helped mainly by growth and regulatory recovery.
The company noted headwinds from less favorable weather and higher interest expense, as well as the prior divestiture of its Louisiana and Mississippi gas businesses. CenterPoint reiterated its full‑year 2026 earnings guidance and highlighted strong Houston-area electric demand, including 12.2 gigawatts of firmly committed industrial load and a data center load forecast of 8 gigawatts to be energized by 2029.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc. reported first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $2.975 billion, slightly above $2.920 billion a year earlier, driven mainly by the Electric and Natural Gas utility businesses. Net income rose to $316 million from $297 million, with diluted earnings per share increasing to $0.48 from $0.45.
Operating income improved to $658 million from $649 million as higher depreciation and interest expense were partially offset by lower fuel and purchased power costs. Cash from operations was $282 million, down from $410 million, while capital expenditures of $1.198 billion and new long‑term debt issuance expanded the asset base and increased net long‑term debt to $22.476 billion.
The company continues reshaping its natural gas footprint. CERC classifies its Ohio natural gas LDC business as held for sale under a $2.62 billion agreement with NFGC, and has already exited its Louisiana and Mississippi LDCs. Houston Electric securitized storm restoration costs through $401.5 million and $1.193 billion system restoration bond issuances tied to May 2024 storms and Hurricane Beryl, supporting recovery of past investments from customers over time.

CEI South reported 2025 revenues of $921 million versus $771 million in 2024 and net income of $150 million versus $147 million. Total assets rose to $5.024 billion, supported by heavy capital spending, including a $357 million acquisition of the 191 MW Posey Solar project and significant new first mortgage bond issuances. Operating cash flow reached $313 million, while investing outflows of $950 million were largely debt- and equity-funded, with $515 million in new third-party debt and $366 million in contributions from the parent.

Governance updates include naming Jason P. Wells as Chair of the Board while serving as President and CEO, with Christopher H. Franklin as Lead Independent Director.
