Xcel Energy is anticipated to announce its 22nd consecutive annual dividend increase, highlighting its dedication to dividend growth and shareholder value. The company is positioned for 6%-8% annual EPS growth, supported by strong financials, investment-grade credit ratings, and a $45 billion capital spending plan through 2029. Despite recent revenue and EPS misses, Xcel's long-term growth prospects remain robust, driven by solar projects and data center load growth.
