Frequently asked questions

Is CNP growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, CenterPoint Energy's revenue has grown 4.9% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does CNP have?

As of FY2025, CenterPoint Energy reported $21.1B of total debt against $38M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 2.3×.

What is CNP's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 100.0%, operating margin 22.6%, and net margin 11.3%.

What is CNP's P/E ratio?

CenterPoint Energy's P/E (TTM) is 26.06 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the CNP stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 26.5× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
