CMS Energy Guides 2027 Profit Below Street, Exits Renewables Business
CMS is trading near its 52-week low of $68.64 (9.3% above the low).
Summary
CMS Energy forecast 2027 adjusted EPS of $4.08-$4.17, with the $4.13 midpoint missing the $4.17 consensus. The company also announced an exit from non-utility renewables development to focus on its regulated business. Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.37 narrowly beat estimates by a penny, but net income dropped 40% year-over-year on higher operating expenses. The 2027 outlook and strategic shift add new negatives beyond the earlier FY guidance reaffirmation. The exit from renewables signals a pullback from unregulated ventures amid rising financing costs, while the below-consensus 2027 forecast raises concerns about growth trajectory.
