What Centerpoint Energy Inc. reported on July 28, 2026

The quarter ending March 31, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“As part of our industry’s unprecedented and dynamic era of growth, our teams are converting that momentum into tangible results for our customers, large businesses seeking new connections, and our shareholders. At mid-year, we have delivered strong second quarter results that reflect the strength of our increasing customer-driven capital plan and the progress we continue to make across our strategic priorities. While we remain laser focused on delivering improvements in resiliency and reliability for our customers, we know that the most impactful way we can positively affect customer affordability is to help facilitate regional economic growth and connect more new customers onto our system. We remain confident in our ability to deliver these positive customer impacts, strong financial results and long-term value,”
