CenterPoint Energy reports Q4 adjusted EPS 32c, consensus 32c

“I am excited and humbled to have the privilege to lead CenterPoint into its next chapter,” said Jason Wells, CEO of CenterPoint. “The last few years have proven that our strategy is truly one of the best in the industry and that we have the ability to execute it at a high-level. These latest quarter and full year 2023 results exemplify this point as we delivered on a third consecutive year of 9% non-GAAP EPS growth and delivered premium results for all stakeholders despite the ongoing headwinds our industry has faced.” “With our announced LDC asset sale this morning, we’ve now entered into a fourth transaction since Analyst Day 2021, for the benefit of efficiently recycling capital into states in which we either have combined electric and gas operations or a larger presence. We believe this portfolio optimization will allow us to further enhance our ability to continue executing our industry-leading long-term growth strategy for many years to come,” said Wells.
