Summary
Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) filed an 8-K on June 3, 2013, to disclose that its management would be meeting with investors from June 3-5, 2013. The primary purpose of these meetings was to provide an update on the company's operations and business plans. Importantly, Xcel Energy reaffirmed its previously issued 2013 earnings per diluted share guidance, projecting a range of $1.85 to $1.95. This filing serves as a standard Regulation FD disclosure, ensuring that material non-public information (in this case, business updates and guidance reaffirmation) is made available to all investors simultaneously. Investors should note that the forward-looking statements, including the earnings guidance, are subject to various risks and uncertainties detailed in the filing and previous SEC submissions, which could lead to actual results differing materially from projections.
