Analysis · D · Energy & Transportation
Why it matters: steady, on-plan utility earnings are the base case for the pending $67 billion all-stock merger with NextEra, which still awaits regulatory approval. Dominion delivered a clean quarter, with operating EPS of $1.28 versus $1.06 a year ago, as the regulated Virginia utility drove the beat on the 2025 Biennial Review outcome and rider equity return. Management now expects to land in the top half of its $3.45-$3.69 2026 operating EPS range and reaffirmed dividend, credit and long-term growth guidance. The GAAP-vs-operating gap is mostly non-cash noise: $438 million of nuclear decommissioning trust gains and $719 million of nonregulated impairments, including the $820 million renewable natural gas charge already flagged in the second quarter.
