WEC Energy Group raised and narrowed its 2026 earnings outlook after reporting stronger third-quarter results on October 29. In its third-quarter results release, the utility said net income attributable to common shareholders rose to USD 389.3 million from USD 271.3 million a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share increased to USD 1.18 from USD 0.83.

Weather and demand shape outlook

WEC Energy Group cited warmer-than-normal weather, execution of its capital plan and operating efficiency as the main drivers of the quarter. Retail electricity deliveries, excluding the Michigan iron ore mine and very large customers in Wisconsin, increased 3.3 percent year over year. On a weather-normal basis, the increase was 0.4 percent.

Management lifted and narrowed its 2026 diluted earnings-per-share guidance to USD 5.60 to USD 5.64 from the previous range of USD 5.51 to USD 5.61. The outlook assumes normal weather for the remainder of the year. Capital investment supported by very large customers was another factor behind the revised range.
