Jefferies cuts its target

According to MarketBeat on September 15, 2026, Jefferies Financial Group lowered its price target on CMS Energy to USD 74.00 from USD 78.00 and kept a Hold rating. The same report said the consensus target stood at USD 80.69 and that seven analysts rate the stock Buy while six rate it Hold.

MarketBeat also said CMS Energy reported EPS of USD 0.37 for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of USD 0.36 by USD 0.01, while revenue came in at USD 1.83 billion versus expectations of USD 1.87 billion. The same update placed FY 2026 guidance at USD 4.080 to USD 4.170 per share.

Quarterly numbers matter

Those figures set a clear tension for investors: the EPS beat was only USD 0.01, but the revenue shortfall was USD 40 million against expectations. At the same time, the FY 2026 guidance range of USD 4.080 to USD 4.170 implies a narrow corridor around the current consensus view.
