What Xcel Energy Inc. reported on October 29, 2026

The quarter ending September 30, 2019, 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 one of the nation’s largest builders of clean generation and high-voltage transmission, Xcel Energy continues to make critical investments in the infrastructure our customers and communities need, while staying focused on delivering safe, clean, reliable and affordable energy. We’ve made considerable progress on our priorities this quarter and our updated five-year investment plan gives us a clear path to extend this growth cycle and continue to deliver affordable and reliable energy our customers need well into the next decade,”

How the share price reacted

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.
