Description: XEL Xcel Energy December 03, 2025

Xcel Energy (NASDAQ:XEL) is a regulated utility that generates, purchases, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity and natural gas across eight U.S. states. Its operations are split between a Regulated Electric Utility segment-fuelled by a mix of wind, nuclear, hydro, biomass, solar, coal, natural gas, oil, wood, and refuse-derived fuels-and a Regulated Natural Gas Utility segment that handles retail sales, transportation, and pipeline development.

The company serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin, leveraging a legacy footprint that dates back to its 1909 incorporation as Northern States Power.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 adjusted EBITDA reached $6.5 billion, and capital expenditures were $3.5 billion, with roughly 30 % of generation capacity now classified as renewable-driven by state Renewable Portfolio Standards and the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credits. The utility’s regulated rate base grew 7 % YoY, reflecting ongoing grid-modernization and clean-energy projects, while its dividend yield hovered around 3.2 %.
