Xcel Energy Inc. reported solid earnings growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total operating revenues were $ 3,119 million versus $ 3,287 million a year earlier, while net income increased to $ 586 million from $ 444 million. Diluted EPS rose to $ 0.93 from $ 0.75, helped by lower electric fuel and purchased power costs, reduced depreciation, higher equity-method income and continued AFUDC, partially offset by higher interest expense.
For the first six months of 2026, net income was $ 1,142 million compared with $ 927 million, and diluted EPS was $ 1.82 versus $ 1.59. Operating cash flow strengthened to $ 2,797 million from $ 2,109 million. The company is funding large capital programs, with capital expenditures of $ 5,970 million and long-term debt (including current portion) rising to $ 36,947 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $ 2,010 million, supported by a $1.5 billion term loan and $4.75 billion of committed revolving credit facilities, of which $ 3,648 million remained available.
Xcel Energy continues to manage significant wildfire and regulatory exposures. For the 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire Complex, it has recorded a total estimated loss of $ 460 million (before insurance), with $ 404 million of expected loss payments already settled and approximately $80 million of the $ 525 million annual wildfire insurance limit remaining. The company notes that ultimate resolution could exceed insurance coverage and materially affect results. For the Marshall Fire in Colorado, settlements totaling $ 640 million have been executed, and higher expected insurance recoveries produced a $ 19 million net credit to 2026 earnings. In Minnesota, regulators ordered a $ 41 million disallowance related to a Prairie Island nuclear outage, leading to $ 38 million of customer refunds recorded in 2026. Adjusting for these non-recurring items, first-half ongoing earnings were $ 1,156 million and ongoing diluted EPS were $ 1.84 versus $ 1.59 a year earlier.
Xcel Energy Inc. reported higher Q2 2026 results, with GAAP and ongoing diluted EPS of $0.93 versus $0.75 a year earlier and net income of $586 million versus $444 million. Total operating revenues were $3,119 million, down from $3,287 million, as lower fuel and purchased power costs were largely passed through to customers.
The EPS increase was driven mainly by higher recovery of electric infrastructure investments, lower fuel expense and higher AFUDC, partly offset by higher interest charges and lower electric and natural gas revenues. Year-to-date diluted GAAP EPS rose to $1.82 and ongoing EPS to $1.84, both up from $1.59. Xcel Energy reaffirmed 2026 ongoing EPS guidance of $4.04–$4.16 per share, assuming constructive regulatory outcomes, normal weather, higher capital rider revenue, and increases in O&M, depreciation, property taxes and interest expense.
At June 30, 2026, total debt was $39,457 million (62% of $63,514 million capitalization), with common equity of $24,057 million, and total liquidity of $4,694 million from credit facilities and cash. Xcel Energy estimates total losses and costs of $503 million related to the Smokehouse Creek Fire Complex, including a $460 million total estimated loss and approximately $80 million of remaining insurance coverage, and recorded a separate net $19 million credit from increased Marshall Wildfire insurance recoveries. The company also highlighted key rate case developments and an agreement to serve a new Google data center in Minnesota that is expected to provide approximately $1.1 billion of customer benefits if approved.
