Based on the last 12 months of reports, through 31 March 2026
The sector median covers every company in the sector on the US market, loss-making ones included.
CenterPoint Energy delivers electricity to Houston and gas across several states — and is rebuilding after a destructive hurricane.
The model is regulated: the company does not sell energy but delivers it, earning a delivery charge set from invested capital. Houston grows fast, and connections grow with it — a rare case where a utility's territory genuinely expands.
The hurricane that left the city without power for days changed the agenda: the regulator demanded a resilience programme — stronger poles, cleared corridors, automation that isolates a fault. That means substantial investment and therefore rate base growth, but also reputational risk when the next storm arrives. Recovering storm costs also runs through the regulator, so a bad season shows in cash before it shows in tariffs. The company pays a dividend.
