CenterPoint Energy: Balanced Risk and Reward Justifies Hold Rating Amid Limited UpsideWe are initiating coverage on Line rating and a $42 price target. While we are constructive on the company’s growth potential given its attractive service jurisdiction and bullish on those able to provide the incremental transmission and distribution needed to support the energy infrastructure build out, based on our proprietary valuation analysis, we believe the current risk/reward is balanced. CenterPoint recently increased its 2025 adj. EPS guidance to $1.75- $1.77 and initiated 2026 guidance implying ~8% adj. EPS growth at the midpoint, while also outlining its expectation for an adj. EPS long-term CAGR of 7-9% through 2035.
