Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 30, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

WEC Energy Group, Inc. furnished a press release under Item 2.02 reporting its results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The company reported third-quarter net income attributed to common shareholders of $271.3 milliona, or 83 cents per diluted share, compared with $240.1 million, or 76 cents, in the third quarter of 2024. For the nine months, net income was $1.24 billion, or $3.85 per diluted share, versus $1.07 billion, or $3.40, a year earlier. Consolidated revenues for the nine months were $7.3 billion, up $947.3 million.

The prior-year periods included a 6-cent-per-share charge tied to capital expenditures under the Qualifying Infrastructure Plant rider that the Illinois Commerce Commission disallowed. Excluding that charge, adjusted 2024 earnings were 82 cents per share for the third quarter and $3.45b for the nine months. Operating results showed retail electricity deliveries, excluding the Michigan iron ore mine, up 1.9% in the third quarter, or 1.8% on a weather-normal basis.

Residential use rose 2.1%, small commercial and industrial use rose 1.1%, and large commercial and industrial use rose 2.5%. Management described the quarter as solid and reaffirmed 2025 earnings guidance of $5.17 to $5.27c per share, assuming normal weather for the remainder of the year. The company's cash flow statement for the nine months shows net cash from operating activities of $2,954.8 million and capital expenditures of $3,095.1 million, compared with $1,934.7 million a year earlier.

The company also acquired the Hardin Solar III Energy Center for $406.1 milliond net of cash acquired and issued $746.6 million of common stock, net. At September 30, 2025, total assets were $49.8 billion, up from $47.4 billion at December 31, 2024, and long-term debt was $17.7 billion.

Investors should note the substantial capital spending and the growth in long-term debt and equity issuance that funded it. The filing also references a conference call on October 30, 2025 to review the quarter and outlook.

    The filing reports Q3 2025 net income attributed to common shareholders of $271.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, and management described it as another solid quarter. The filing does not state analyst consensus estimates, so a comparison to expectations cannot be drawn from it.
