Xcel Energy: Growth Strategies Counterbalanced by Wildfire Risks and Balance Sheet Concerns
Envestnet Portfolio Solutions Inc. and Mediolanum International Funds Ltd have boosted their holdings in Xcel Energy Inc. while Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and others such as Commerce Bank, Private Advisor Group, Nordea Investment Management AB, and several others have offloaded their shares. The company is also seeking a $171 million rate hike in Colorado. Xcel Energy has surpassed Q1 2024 EPS estimates and there is a notable increase in the company's short interest. Analysts rate the potential of Xcel as a 'moderate buy.' Investments driving growth focus on Renewable Expansion and Clean Power Generation. However, there is news of a wildfire in Texas which was purportedly caused by Xcel Energy’s equipment, resulting in a lawsuit. An insider selling situation below the current market value attracts attention. In addition, the balance sheet appears somewhat strained. The dividend has been increased by 5.3% reflecting investor returns, however, the stock performance is reportedly underperforming the market with regards to the prevailing wildfire risks.
