CenterPoint Energy delivers electricity for Houston-area retail providers and Indiana customers, and sells natural gas to households and businesses in Texas, Minnesota and Indiana.
The quarter ending March 31, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
Centerpoint Energy Inc.’s own guidance, from its results release of October 27, 2026. It is the company’s statement of what it expects, not a forecast of ours.
| Measure | 3 months toMar 31, 2026 | 3 months toMar 31, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $3B | $3B | +0.64% |
| Profit | $316M | $297M | +6.40% |
| Profit per share | $0.48 | $0.45 | +6.67% |
| Free Cash Flow | -$916M | -$628M | -45.86% |
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.
Centerpoint Energy Inc. has no earnings call transcript available.
“We continue to see accelerated growth opportunities across Greater Houston, where the region’s speed-to-market advantage is creating a compelling pipeline of additional customer-driven investment opportunities. This growth also supports affordability as we expect it will drive approximately $5 billion in savings for Texas residential and commercial customers over the next decade. Beyond today’s $4 billion capital plan increase to expand system capacity to accommodate growth, we see at least another $10 billion of additional opportunities to enable system reliability, enhance safety and drive economic development across our service territories,”

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
