Xcel Energy Inc. entered into an equity distribution agreement allowing it to offer and sell shares of common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $4,300,000,000 through sales agents and forward transactions. This structure includes traditional at-the-market offerings, “Initially Priced Forward Transactions,” and “Collared Forward Transactions.”

Sales may occur on Nasdaq or through other permitted methods, with sales agent and forward seller commissions of up to 1.00% of the sales price. All shares are registered under an existing Form S-3 shelf registration and a new prospectus supplement dated May 1, 2026.

Xcel Energy Inc. proposes to offer and sell up to $4,300,000,000 of common stock from time to time pursuant to an equity distribution agreement, including through "at-the-market" sales and structured forward transactions.

The prospectus supplement describes two forward structures: initially priced forward transactions and collared forward transactions, each of which may involve borrowed shares, prepayments, price collars, and settlement mechanics that can result in cash proceeds, share issuance, or cash/share obligations depending on election and market outcomes. The company noted $1.480 billion of consolidated short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and disclosed a commission cap of 1.00% per share; the last reported sale price was $82.95 on April 30, 2026.

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.
