Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DTE Energy is updating investors with a business outlook, highlighting 2026 earnings guidance, major data center wins, and a larger capital plan. The company now targets 2026 operating EPS of $7.59–$7.73, which it says reflects about 6%–8% growth over the 2025 guidance midpoint. A five-year capital investment plan of $36.5 billion from 2026–2030 focuses on DTE Electric, DTE Gas and DTE Vantage, including reliability, clean generation and storage. Approved 1.4 GW Oracle and a 1.0 GW Google data center agreement are expected to add load, support over $7 billion of related capital through 2032 and generate affordability benefits for existing customers. Management maintains a long-term operating EPS growth target of 6%–8% through 2030 and plans external equity issuances of $500–$600 million annually from 2026–2028 to help fund growth while preserving investment-grade credit ratings.

Insights

DTE details 2026 EPS guidance, larger capex and data center-driven growth with planned equity support.

DTE Energy outlines a strategy built around regulated utility growth, hyperscale data centers and clean energy. 2026 operating EPS guidance of $7.59–$7.73 implies about 6%–8% growth over the 2025 guidance midpoint, consistent with a stated long-term 6%–8% EPS target through 2030.

The plan includes a five‑year capital program of $36.5 billion, up from a prior $30 billion, driven by Oracle’s 1.4 GW approved data center, a 1.0 GW Google agreement and additional reliability and cleaner generation projects. Management highlights that RNG tax credits at DTE Vantage help position results toward the high end of the EPS range.

To finance higher capital needs, the company expects $500–$600 million of external equity annually from 2026–2028 and may use junior subordinated debt, while targeting around 15% funds-from-operations to debt and maintaining investment‑grade ratings. Future regulatory approvals and execution of large projects, including the 2026 integrated resource plan, will shape how this growth profile develops.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

DTE Energy Company (“DTE Energy”) will meet with investors on March 24, 2026. A copy of the slide presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and will be available on DTE Energy's website, www.dteenergy.com on March 23, 2026.

In its business presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2026 operating earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company's 2026 reported results will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2026 reported earnings guidance are not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items (i.e., future non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations). These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a filing.

Reconciliation of reported to operating earnings (non-GAAP) 18 Use of Operating Earnings Information – Operating earnings exclude non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations. DTE Energy management believes that operating earnings provide a meaningful representation of the company’s earnings from ongoing operations and uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement for external communications with analysts and investors. Internally, DTE Energy uses operating earnings to measure performance against budget and to report to the Board of Directors. Operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure and should be viewed as a supplement and not a substitute for reported earnings, which represents the company’s net income and the most comparable GAAP measure. In this presentation, DTE Energy provides guidance for future period operating earnings. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s future period reported results will be excluded from operating results. A reconciliation to the comparable future period reported earnings is not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific line items (i.e., future non-recurring items, certain mark-to-market adjustments and discontinued operations). These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a significant impact on reported earnings. Definition of net zero Goal for DTE Energy's utility operations and gas suppliers at DTE Gas that any carbon emissions put into the atmosphere will be balanced by those taken out of the atmosphere. Achieving this goal will include collective efforts to reduce carbon emissions and actions to offset any remaining emissions. Progress towards net zero goals is estimated and methodologies and calculations may vary from those of other utility businesses with similar targets. Carbon emissions is defined as emissions of carbon containing compounds, including carbon dioxide and methane, that are identified as greenhouse gases.
