Thesis Summary

OGE Energy offers a regulated-utility earnings profile supported by reaffirmed 2026 diluted EPS guidance of $2.38-$2.48, a stated 5%-7% annual EPS-growth objective from the 2026 midpoint, and prospective large-load growth. The Google agreements and proposed tariff seek to place connection and generation costs on large-load customers while producing residential-customer credits. Counterweights are weather sensitivity, operating-cost pressure.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$44.0020%

Weather, operating expenses, financing costs or regulatory delays cause earnings to fall below the 2026 guidance floor, reduce the longer-term EPS-growth outlook or weaken the expected economics of large-load investment.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$50.6455%
Matches the consensus mean

OGE remains within its $2.38-$2.48 2026 diluted EPS range and advances its 5%-7% annual EPS-growth objective while the large-load tariff proceeds through regulatory review.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$60.0025%

OGE finishes 2026 near the upper end of guidance, sustains EPS growth in the top half of its 5%-7% objective and secures timely approval of a large-load tariff that supports data-center demand without shifting connection costs to existing customers.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits
  • Second-quarter 2026 diluted EPS increased to $0.56 from $0.53, and full-year guidance remained $2.38-$2.48.
  • Management targets 5%-7% annual consolidated EPS growth from the 2026 guidance midpoint and the top half of that range through 2028.
  • The Google agreements require the customer to fund 100% of grid-connection costs and its contracted generation costs, while the proposed large-load tariff includes additional customer protections.
  • The board maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.425 per common share in May 2026.

Key Investment Risks
  • Earnings are weather-sensitive; mild weather contributed to weaker first-quarter 2026 utility earnings.
  • Higher operation and maintenance expense partially offset the benefit of capital-investment recovery and lower interest expense in the second quarter.
  • The proposed large-load tariff and Google service arrangements require regulatory approval, creating timing and execution risk.
