CenterPoint Energy, Inc. · CNP · NYSE · Utilities · Regulated Electric

Research dated 2026-09-12: CenterPoint Energy is a regulated utility holding company whose economics come from moving electricity and natural gas through capital-intensive networks, with additional exposure to power generation, wholesale markets, gas transport and storage, and home-service offerings. The case depends on whether regulated recovery and earnings growth can keep pace with an investment program that consistently consumes more cash than operations produce.

How to read these bars and different assessments

Council is a separate blend of available disciplines; MoonshotScore above remains the five-pillar research rating.

Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.

On Sep 9, 2026, the Munger lens read the price at that time as fairly valued against its own estimate of value.

Readings on this page are from Oct 5, 2026, except a card that shows its own read date.

1 · What is it?

What is CenterPoint Energy (CNP), and what does it report?

Short answer · as of

CenterPoint sells access to essential energy infrastructure: electric transmission and distribution, power generation, natural gas distribution, and gas transportation and storage.

Research dated 2026-09-12.

CenterPoint sells access to essential energy infrastructure: electric transmission and distribution, power generation, natural gas distribution, and gas transportation and storage. Its gas operations also include appliance maintenance and repair protection offerings, so the company is broader than an electric network operator.

Reported revenue is divided almost evenly between electric transmission and distribution and natural gas, with electric operations modestly larger. Quarterly revenue and profit therefore reflect activity across distinct utility systems, while the consolidated statements combine their seasonal demand, operating costs, and capital requirements.

2 · Latest results

What do the latest results show for CenterPoint Energy (CNP)?

Short answer · as of

The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $2.15B.

Research dated 2026-09-12.

The latest quarter produced higher revenue, operating profit, net income, and diluted earnings than the comparable period, while each measure declined from the immediately preceding quarter. Reported earnings and revenue also cleared consensus, extending a recent run in which revenue surprises have been uneven but the latest releases were stronger than expected.

Management has not tied the latest movement to a single cause. Instead, it has highlighted forthcoming customer delivery-charge updates, a transmission capital-tracker filing, improving visibility into route-related cost per mile, and continued long-range adjusted earnings growth expectations.

3 · Financial strengths and risks

What are the financial strengths and risks for CenterPoint Energy (CNP)?

Short answer

Cash and short-term investments were $475.00M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $778.00M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.

Research dated 2026-09-12.

CenterPoint remains profitable and has generated positive operating cash flow throughout the reported quarterly series. Yet capital spending exceeded operating cash flow in every listed period, producing a negative free-cash-flow yield and making external funding an integral part of the model rather than an occasional bridge.

Debt towers over cash, the quick-liquidity measure sits below parity, and the cash balance fell sharply from the preceding quarter after fluctuating widely across the series. The distress screen reinforces the financing risk, although current liquidity remains above parity and the quality screen is comparatively firmer. Rising dividend payments add another recurring claim on cash while the investment program remains heavy.

Sources (as of 2026-09-12): Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions); Cash, investments and debt; Cash and investment components; Cash and short-term investments over time (USD millions); Cash decline over the reported window; Cash runway cross-check (ours); Cash against market value; Trailing twelve-month ratio set; Distress and quality screens; Recent dividends paid

Data-derived red flags

  • Financial-distress signal — its Altman Z-Score of 0.85 sits in the distress zone (elevated bankruptcy risk).
  • Inconsistent delivery — missed Wall Street EPS estimates in 3 of the last 8 reported quarters.

How much cash does the business generate or use?

Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

4 · What to check next?

What should you watch next at CenterPoint Energy (CNP)?

Short answer · as of

The next earnings report is expected on Oct 22, 2026.

Research dated 2026-09-12.

Customer delivery-charge updates and the transmission capital-tracker filing are the nearest operating checkpoints because management has explicitly linked them to its current timetable. Route work should also sharpen the cost-per-mile estimate, which matters when capital spending already runs well above internally generated cash.

The scheduled earnings release should be read across revenue, earnings, operating cash flow, and capital expenditure rather than through earnings alone. Longer-range analyst estimates anticipate continued expansion, but that trajectory becomes more credible only if reported earnings growth is accompanied by visible progress in funding the network buildout.

5 · Peer comparison

How does CenterPoint Energy compare with its peers?

Short answer

CenterPoint Energy's score ranks 10th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.

Research dated 2026-09-12.

Unlike an electric-only regulated utility, CenterPoint combines a slightly larger electric transmission and distribution business with a nearly comparable natural gas operation. Generation assets, wholesale power participation, gas transportation and storage, appliance maintenance, and repair protection broaden the activities sitting behind consolidated revenue.

That mix diversifies the sources of utility revenue, but it does not remove the defining financial constraint: network investment consistently exceeds operating cash generation. Comparisons with similar utilities therefore hinge less on revenue mix alone and more on how effectively regulated charges and capital trackers convert infrastructure spending into earnings and cash recovery.

CenterPoint Energy Utilities Stock: Key Questions Answered

Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.

What does CenterPoint Energy actually sell through its electric operations?

The electric business supplies power through generation assets and transmission and distribution networks, while also participating in the wholesale power market. Its reported electric segment is principally identified as transmission and distribution and is modestly larger than natural gas by revenue.

Sources (as of 2026-09-12): Business description; Revenue by segment

How important is natural gas to CenterPoint Energy’s revenue mix?

Natural gas contributes nearly as much revenue as electric transmission and distribution. The operation serves residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation customers through distribution, regulated gas sales, transportation, storage, and related home-service offerings.

Sources (as of 2026-09-12): Revenue by segment; Business description

Why is CenterPoint Energy’s free cash flow negative despite positive operating cash flow?

Capital expenditure exceeded operating cash flow throughout the reported quarterly series. Positive utility cash generation therefore has not been sufficient to fund the current investment pace, leaving financing capacity central to the company’s financial profile.

Sources (as of 2026-09-12): Operating cash flow by quarter (USD millions); Trailing twelve-month ratio set; Cash, investments and debt; Cash against market value

Why do CenterPoint Energy’s customer delivery-charge updates matter?

Management has identified a forthcoming delivery-charge update alongside a transmission capital-tracker filing, making these concrete milestones for the regulated investment program. Their timing can be checked against continued earnings growth and the gap between operating cash flow and capital spending.

Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.

Fact-family notes

  1. Quarterly statement note. Source series as of 2026-06-30. USD. The operating result is the FMP-standardized value supplied by FMP; it may differ from a filing’s GAAP loss from operations when the provider classifies separately presented items differently. It is not net income or cash flow. Applies to Fact IDs: fin.q_table.depth.2026-06-30.revenue_k, fin.q_table.depth.2026-06-30.sga_k, fin.q_table.depth.2026-06-30.operating_result_k, fin.q_table.depth.2026-03-31.revenue_k, fin.q_table.depth.2026-03-31.sga_k, fin.q_table.depth.2026-03-31.operating_result_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-12-31.revenue_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-12-31.sga_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-12-31.operating_result_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-09-30.revenue_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-09-30.sga_k, fin.q_table.depth.2025-09-30.operating_result_k.
  2. Earnings-history note. Source series as of 2026-07-28. Dates are report dates, not fiscal period ends. Revenue is in USD; EPS is USD per share, rounded to four decimals. The earnings feed does not establish a basic, diluted or adjusted basis. Earnings-feed EPS may differ from statement EPS; the two series are not combined.

Cash decline over the reported window
To: 2026-06-30; From: 2024-09-30; Periods: 7; Cash basis: cash and short-term investments; Closing balance: $475.00M; Decline: $168.00M; Opening balance: $643.00M; Average change per period: $24.00M

Change in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments between the 2024-09-30 and 2026-06-30 balance sheets.; This is a balance change, not operating burn: financing and investing move it too.; Averaged over 7 reporting periods of unequal length.

2026-06-30COMPUTEDComputed from reported balances
Cash runway cross-check (ours)
Years: 0.2; Method: cash and short-term investments of $475M at 2026-06-30 divided by the annualized rate at which operations and capital spending used cash ($2861.5M per year); Reaches: 2026-08; Cash basis: cash and short-term investments; Cash: $475.00M; Annualized cash use: $2.86B

Rate taken from operating cash flow less capital expenditure over the 8 most recent reported quarters, annualized.; Measured from operations, not from the change in the cash balance — a company that raised money during the window would otherwise appear to be burning less than it is.; Assumes that rate continues unchanged: it ignores announced cost reductions, financing already arranged and any change in spending.; Assumes the reported cash and short-term investments are realizable for funding operations; restrictions and timing of access are not established by these provider fields. Long-term investments are excluded.; It is a cross-check, not a forecast, and the company's own statement about its runway outranks it.

Cash is the latest reported cash and short-term investment balance; long-term investments are excluded. Market capitalization is the latest provider value.; The reported balance does not establish unrestricted availability or liquidation value.; The two are measured on different dates — the balance sheet is a quarter-end, the market cap is a recent close.; Debt is total debt as reported, including operating lease liabilities where the filer includes them.

Distress and quality screens
Altman Z-score: 0.87; Piotroski F-score: 6

Altman Z below 1.8 is the conventional distress zone. The screen is built for manufacturers and industrials; for banks, insurers and property companies it is not a meaningful reading.
