2026 EPS guidance implies 7% growth; 2028 guidance introduced
Southern Company delivered a transformative 2025, with EPS at the top of guidance ($4.30) and a dramatic upward revision to its long-term growth outlook.

Southern Company raised its five-year base capital investment forecast to $81 billion, a roughly 30% increase from a year ago, driven by new generation, transmission, and pipeline expansions. Incremental capital beyond this plan is possible, including for Southern Power and new RFPs, with an expectation of financing incremental capex with about 40% equity or equity equivalents.
