Data centers are reshaping which utility stocks deserve a second look, and one Michigan company just signed agreements with Oracle and Google that could quietly supercharge its earnings growth for years to come.
Michigan's utility giant just locked in hyperscale data center deals with Oracle and Alphabet while its stock slid nearly 10% in a month, creating a rare gap between what the market sees and what the load growth math suggests.
DTE Energy Company offers a compelling blend of discounted valuation, robust dividend growth, and accelerating earnings driven by Michigan's data center expansion. DTE's $36.5B capital plan, underpinned by major agreements with Oracle and Google, supports 6–8% annual operating EPS growth through 2030, with further upside possible. Shares trade at a forward P/E of 16.36, below the proposed fair value multiple of 18, suggesting 24% upside by 2027 and 12% annualized returns through 2031.
DTE Energy has been quietly signing contracts with some of the biggest hyperscalers on the planet, and the numbers behind that pipeline suggest most investors are not yet pricing in what it could mean for earnings growth.
Michigan's largest utility just signed hyperscale data center deals that could rewrite its earnings story, but a recent sell-off near 52-week lows is raising questions about whether the opportunity is real or already priced in.
