Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CNP's reported EPS growth of 3.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.95
- Implied price
- $46.82
- Return from $37.79
- 4.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $23.28 — -38.4% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -6.1% | -13.0% | -9.0% | -5.7% | -2.7% | -0.1% |
| -1.1% | -8.4% | -4.2% | -0.6% | 2.5% | 5.2% |
| 3.9% | -3.8% | 0.6% | 4.4% | 7.6% | 10.6% |
| 8.9% | 0.9% | 5.5% | 9.4% | 12.8% | 15.9% |
| 13.9% | 5.5% | 10.3% | 14.4% | 18.0% | 21.2% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Sector Pessimism Is Weighing On CenterPoint Energy CenterPoint Energy, Inc. maintains a Buy rating, supported by robust demand growth in key markets and strategic capital investments. CNP's $50M DOE award for grid modernization enhances reliability and may reduce future capital needs, though impact is modest relative to its $34B capex plan. Recent sale of Ohio gas assets and strong Q2 2026 results bolster balance sheet flexibility and support 7–9% annual EPS growth guidance through 2035.

Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
