Frequently asked questions
What is Xcel Energy Inc's revenue?
Xcel Energy Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $14.78B, and consensus projects about $22.35B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is XEL?
In its most recent fiscal year, XEL ran a gross margin of 24.30%, an operating margin of 19.63%, and a net margin of 13.76%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does XEL generate?
XEL produced $2.91B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is XEL's balance sheet healthy?
XEL holds $274.00M in cash and equivalents against $31.83B in long-term debt, on $23.61B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
