CenterPoint Energy (CNP), a utility company based in Houston, has made significant strides in grid resilience by installing more than 100 weather stations across the Greater Houston area. This moves backwards a year of various key activities, such as the sale of shares by the State of Tennessee Department of Treasury and new stake acquisitions by Voleon Capital Management LP. The company received a composite rating upgrade further enhancing its status among utility stocks. The implementation of a vast weather station network for severe weather monitoring, especially during hurricane seasons, has triggered strategic investments up to $1B towards Houston's storm shield, which is already 70% complete. With some fluctuations in Q1 earnings and signs of acceleration, CNP's financial performance overall remains robust, thanks to normalized financing costs. Lately, the company also declared a common stock dividend of $0.2200. In addition to financials, CNP has made notable board changes with new directors and senior leadership. Looking forward to 2025 and beyond, CenterPoint Energy is set to invest substantially in system resilience and increase capital investment plans up to $48.5B through 2030.
