CenterPoint Q2 2026: non-GAAP EPS $0.40, revenue up 10.6%, guidance kept
CenterPoint beat the Street on second-quarter profit and grew revenue 10.6% year over year, so the quarter reads Bullish: management repeated full-year 2026 guidance and added $1.2 billion to its ten-year capital plan. The growth is real but financed, and the 17 gigawatts of large-load requests are the swing factor for future years.

Management credited growth and regulatory recovery for $0.10 per share of favorability, partly offset by $0.01 from weather and usage and $0.01 from higher interest expense. The GAAP-to-non-GAAP gap came mostly from ZENS-related mark-to-market swings that largely cancelled each other out.
Revenue was $2.159 billion, up 10.6% from $1.953 billion in the same quarter last year. Electric brought in $1.381 billion and the Natural Gas Segment $775 million, so the mix is roughly two-thirds electric. The excerpt shows no cost lines, so we cannot tell how much of the increase dropped to profit.
