OGE Energy (NYSE:OGE) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.04 EPS

OGE Energy (NYSE:OGE) announced its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday. The utilities provider reported $0.34 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.30 by $0.04, Briefing.com reports. OGE Energy had a net margin of 15.28% and a return on equity of 10.77%. The company had revenue of $725.80 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $277.80 million. During the same quarter in the previous year, the company posted $0.50 EPS. The business’s revenue was down 4.6% compared to the same quarter last year. OGE Energy updated its FY 2026 guidance to 2.380-2.480 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from OGE Energy’s conference call:

• Reported strong 2025 results with consolidated EPS of $2.32 (electric company EPS $2.47), weather-normalized load up ~7% and customer growth near 1%, which management says reflects durable demand and affordability advantages.
• Guidance and targets were raised: 2026 consolidated EPS midpoint of $2.43 (up ~7% vs. 2025 midpoint) and a long-term EPS growth target of 5%–7%, with management expecting to deliver in the top half of ranges through 2028.
• Company is accelerating supply additions and large-load activity — ~1.3 GW of new generation being built, finalizing a 1 GW data-center contract (Customer X), and a draft IRP shows ~1.9 GW incremental capacity need by 2031 driven partly by SPP policy changes and RFPs for bridge and 2032 capacity.
• SPP assigned OG&E a significant portion of the Seminole-to-Shreveport 765‑kV line and other ITP projects — management estimates this could be on the order of ~20% of the current capital plan but timing, routing and final costs remain preliminary.
• Financing posture strengthened: company completed a well‑subscribed equity offering (and forward) covering equity needs through 2030, plans ~$300M utility debt in 2026 with no long-term holding‑co debt, targets FFO/Debt ~17% and a 60%–70% dividend payout ratio.
