Xcel Energy Inc. filings document the regulatory record of a public utility holding company and its electric and natural gas utility subsidiaries. The filings cover operating and financial results, common stock and registered note securities, subsidiary registrants including Northern States Power, Public Service Company of Colorado and Southwestern Public Service Company, and material events reported on Form 8-K.
Company disclosures include proxy materials for annual shareholder voting, board and committee governance, executive compensation matters, debt and liquidity arrangements, equity distribution programs, junior subordinated notes, first mortgage bond transactions and other capital-structure activity.

Xcel Energy Inc. reported higher first-quarter 2026 results and detailed major wildfire-related exposures. Net income rose to $556 million from $483 million, with diluted EPS increasing to $0.89 from $0.84. Ongoing EPS, excluding certain items, was $0.91.
Total operating revenues grew modestly to $4.02 billion from $3.91 billion, driven mainly by higher recovery of electric infrastructure investments, alternative revenue and stronger commercial and industrial electric sales, partly offset by warm weather and lower natural gas usage.
Xcel highlighted substantial wildfire matters. For the Smokehouse Creek Fire Complex, it has recorded an estimated $460 million loss before insurance and about $500 million including legal costs, with only about $90 million of wildfire insurance coverage remaining for the policy period. The company also updated the largely settled Marshall Fire litigation, where settlement payments of $640 million led to prior charges but produced a $22 million insurance recovery benefit this quarter.
Liquidity increased, with cash and cash equivalents rising to $1.76 billion from $274 million, supported by $3.26 billion of new long-term debt issuance and a $1.5 billion term loan facility of which $750 million was drawn. Capital expenditures were elevated at $3.02 billion, reflecting continued investment in regulated utility infrastructure.
Xcel Energy Inc. reported first quarter 2026 GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.89, up from $0.84 in 2025, on net income of $556 million and operating revenues of $4.021 billion. Ongoing diluted EPS, which excludes Prairie Island outage refunds and Marshall Wildfire insurance recoveries, was $0.91.
Results benefited from higher electric revenues, increased allowance for funds used during construction and regulatory rate outcomes, partly offset by higher interest expense, increased depreciation and the negative earnings impact of warm weather. Xcel Energy reaffirmed its 2026 ongoing EPS guidance of $4.04 to $4.16 and outlined substantial planned financing and resource investments while updating wildfire-related loss estimates and insurance recoveries.
