Xcel Energy: Don't Miss Out On This Quality Dividend Grower
Xcel Energy Inc. is just three years away from becoming a Dividend Aristocrat. Having met or exceeded guidance for 20 consecutive years, I'm confident the utility will deliver on its 6% to 8% annual ongoing diluted EPS growth target. XEL is financially positioned to execute its $45 billion five-year capital spending plan, with investment-grade credit ratings from each of the major rating agencies.
Xcel Energy: Big Plans But At A Premium And Uncertainty Looms
Xcel Energy reaffirms FY2025 EPS guidance of $3.75 to $3.85 despite missing Q1 EPS and revenue expectations due to high wildfire mitigation costs. The company has a $45 billion capital growth plan focused on renewable energy, but faces risks from fluctuating tariffs and regulatory uncertainty. Xcel Energy's stock has increased by 25.43% year to date, making it less attractive compared to peers; a hold rating is recommended.
