CenterPoint Energy's regulated utilities have significant growth investment opportunities. We expect the company to invest just over $21 billion over the next five years, supporting our expectation that management can achieve the midpoint of its 6%-8% annual earnings growth target through 2030, in line with our estimate in 2024-28.
CenterPoint is a pure-play regulated electric and gas utility with above-average long-term growth potential and constructive regulatory environments.
Concerns over Houston Electric's response to Hurricane Beryl have heightened regulatory and political risk.
