Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) continues its upward stride, hitting 52-week highs twice at $64.26 and $64.43 respectively. The company's increased interest from institutional investors, who now hold 79% stake, along with newly appointed treasurer, Todd Wehner, suggests strong corporate governance. Despite missing Q4 and Q2 earnings and revenues estimates, the stock is considered a moderate buy by analysts and has demonstrated strategic growth potential in the clean energy sector, with substantial investments in green power. However, Xcel Energy faces risks associated with potential Texas wildfire liability. Alleged equipment failures have resulted in a lawsuit from affected homeowners. This has resulted in the stock price declining. Despite the legal battles, Xcel Energy maintains its commitment towards progressive carbon reduction goals and reports incremental earnings growth. Forward-looking statements express the willingness of the company to make substantial investments in EV charging ports targeting business fleets. Nevertheless, the stock has suffered due to ongoing uncertainty revolving around the Texas Wildfires.
