From CMS Energy Corporation's Q2 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 29 May 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Slow growth

Projecting 2% to 3% low growth in sales volume over the next five years, supported by new and expanding customer loads including manufacturing, industrial processing, and data centers. (Page 12)
Signed 110 megawatts of new load year-to-date, with expectations that these will connect and ramp gradually through the 5-year period. (Page 12)
Data center and economic development backlog may drive incremental capital investment starting around 2028, with material load ramping more evident in 2028-2030 timeframe. (Page 11)
Growth pipeline includes diverse sectors beyond data centers such as manufacturing and food processing, contributing over 1 gigawatt of non-data center opportunities which carry positive spillover effects. (Page 14)

Profitability & Margins

Full-year adjusted EPS guidance for the current year is reaffirmed at $3.83 to $3.90, with confidence toward the high end.
Long-term adjusted EPS growth is targeted at the high end of a 6% to 8% annual growth range.
Growth in earnings is supported by new load growth, including data centers and other economic development opportunities, expected to ramp notably starting around 2028 and beyond.
While new large load conversions may create upward capital expenditure pressure, they are anticipated to drive rate base growth and thus earnings expansion over time.

Capital Expenditure Plans

Capex planned

Economic development backlog includes large load prospects not in current customer investment plan; converting these could increase CapEx by $2B to $5B per gigawatt, especially with combined cycle gas and infrastructure needs (Page 15, 10).
Additional capital investment opportunities expected if large load conversions happen, putting upward pressure on financing (Page 15).
Ongoing investments in electric grid reliability and resiliency to improve customer experience (Page 5).
Compliance with Michigan clean energy laws requires capital spending on renewables and batteries, included in CapEx range (Page 10).
Planning to file electric and gas rate cases in 2024 aligned with capital plans (Page 12).

Fundraising & Capital Structure

In 2026, CMS Energy plans to issue approximately $700 million in equity, with most equity needs front-loaded in the first 3 years of the 5-year plan (per Rejji Hayes, Page 8).
They have executed equity forward contracts totaling about $495 million to derisk 2026 equity needs, with $142 million settled in Q1 (Page 4).
Additional equity issuances may occur if the stock trades at favorable levels, potentially to derisk 2027 and beyond (Page 8).
On the debt side, convertible debt was opportunistically issued last November to address much of 2026’s financing needs at the parent level, offering flexibility (Page 4).
