Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:XEL)周四股价下跌，此前公司公布了2024财年第四季度业绩数据。 公司报告营收为31.2亿美元，未达37.7亿美元的共识预期。 调整后每股收益为81美分，未达87美分的共识预期。 2024年，Xcel Energy报告持续每股收益为3.50美元，而2023年为3.35美元。这反映了基础设施投资的更高回收率，部分抵消了折旧、利息费用和运营维护费用的增加。 Xcel Energy董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Bob Frenzel表示：“2024年，我们连续第20年实现了收益指引——这是行业中最好的记录之一——尽管这一年面临许多挑战。” “我们显著增加了对基础设施和技术的投资，以保护和提升电力系统，为我们的客户和社区带来利益。” 前景展望：Xcel Energy重申2025财年调整后每股收益为3.75至3.85美元，相比之下，市场预期为3.82美元。 Frenzel补充说：“展望2025年，我们正在执行计划，建设满足客户前所未有需求的能源电网，防范极端天气，并提供引人注目的客户体验。” 投资者可以通过Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF（NYSE: UTES）和Global X U.S. Electrification ETF（NASDAQ: ZAP）来获得该公司的股票。 股价动态：截至周四最后检查，XEL股价下跌1.91%，报66.66美元。 下一篇阅读： Xcel Energy获得Monticello核电站20年延长许可，促进清洁能源目标。 图片来自Shutterstock。

Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:XEL) shares are trading lower on Thursday after the company reported fourth-quarter FY24 results.

The company reported revenue of $3.12 billion, which missed the consensus of $3.77 billion.

Adjusted EPS of 81 cents missed the consensus of 87 cents.

For 2024, Xcel Energy reported ongoing earnings per share of $3.50 vs. $3.35 in 2023. This reflects higher recovery of infrastructure investments, partially offset by increased depreciation, interest charges and O&M expenses.

Bob Frenzel, chairman, president and CEO of Xcel Energy, said, “In 2024, we delivered on our earnings guidance for the 20th year in a row – one of the best track records in the industry – against a very difficult backdrop of challenges throughout the year.”

”We significantly increased our investments in the infrastructure and technology that serves to protect and enhance the electrical systems for the benefit of our customers and communities.”

Outlook: Xcel Energy reiterated FY25 adjusted EPS of $3.75 – $3.85 compared to the consensus estimate of $3.82.

“As we look forward into 2025, we are executing on our plans to build the energy grid that is needed to meet the unprecedented increases in demand from our customers, protect against extreme weather, and deliver a compelling customer experience,” Frenzel added.

Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE:UTES) and Global X U.S. Electrification ETF (NASDAQ:ZAP).

Price Action: XEL shares are down 1.91% at $66.66 at the last check Thursday.
