CenterPoint Energy Inc. (NYSE: CNP) announced today its third‑quarter 2025 financial results, reporting net income of $293 million and a GAAP earnings per share of $0.45, compared with $193 million and $0.30 a year earlier. Non‑GAAP EPS rose to $0.50, a 60% increase from the comparable quarter in 2024, driven by $67 million in electric‑segment income and $41 million in natural‑gas‑segment income.
The company reiterated its full‑year 2025 non‑GAAP EPS guidance of $1.75 to $1.77 and its 2026 guidance of $1.89 to $1.91, while confirming a $65 billion 10‑year capital plan that includes a $2 billion increase through 2030. CenterPoint also highlighted a planned $1 billion System Resilience Plan spend for the Greater Houston area, underscoring its commitment to grid reliability in a high‑growth market.
Operational highlights include a 9% year‑to‑date increase in Houston Electric throughput, with industrial customers up more than 17% quarter‑over‑quarter and 11% year‑to‑date. Favorable drivers for the quarter were a $0.07 per share regulatory benefit, $0.12 per share O&M savings, and a $0.03 per share tax‑optimization benefit, partially offset by a $0.04 per share interest‑expense hit.
CenterPoint’s focus on the Greater Houston region—projected to see nearly 50% load growth by 2031—positions the company to capture significant demand from data centers and advanced manufacturing. The earnings release confirms that the company’s capital deployment and operational efficiencies are translating into stronger profitability and a solid foundation for continued growth.
