Xcel secures groundbreaking Google data center agreement
Xcel reported strong Q1 results, reiterated FY26 EPS guidance, and highlighted a $7B+ line-of-sight to its $10B+ incremental investment opportunity. Key strategic announcements included a large data center contract with Google, a definitive JDA with NextEra, and a supply chain alliance with GE Vernova. Q1 FY26 ongoing EPS of $0.91, up from $0.84 in the prior year, driven by rate cases and sales growth, partially offset by weather, higher interest, and depreciation.
