WEC Energy Group posted first quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.45 per share, an $0.18 improvement over the prior-year period and comfortably ahead of the $2.33 consensus estimate. The beat was driven primarily by rate-base growth contributing $0.17 to earnings, including $0.09 of incremental AFUDC equity from projects under construction, alongside favorable day-to-day O&M of $0.05, partially offset by a $0.02 weather headwind. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $5.51 to $5.61 per share and issued second-quarter guidance of $0.76 to $0.82, signaling confidence in execution despite the O&M timing benefit expected to reverse through the remainder of the year.
