24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Earnings headlines have produced relatively small moves, with a mix of aligned and divergent reactions and no consistent post-earnings trend.
Recent TXNM earnings releases show modest stock reactions. Q1 2025, Q2 2025 and Q3 2025 featured lower GAAP and ongoing EPS versus prior years and highlighted equity issuance and weather impacts, while 2024 results met guidance and supported higher long‑term growth targets and an expanded $7.8B plan. Across these events, the pending $61.25 per‑share Blackstone transaction and growing regulated investment needs remained central themes, as with today’s Q1 2026 update and capital plan roll‑forward.

Net changes to GAAP and ongoing earnings in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 include:
- PNM: Rate relief from the implementation of the first phase of the approved 2025 Rate Request, higher transmission revenues and the timing of plant outages were offset by lower retail load, primarily due to milder than normal temperatures, increased O&M, higher depreciation, property tax and interest expense associated with new capital investments and increased demand charges from energy storage agreements added in late 2025.
- TNMP: Rate recovery through the Distribution Cost Recovery Factor and Transmission Cost of Service rate mechanisms and revenues recorded under Texas House Bill 5247 were partially offset by lower retail load, primarily due to milder than normal temperatures, and higher depreciation and property tax expense associated with new capital investments.
- Corporate and Other: Lower interest expense due to lower debt balances increased earnings.
