DTE Energy to sell Vantage for about $3 billion; EPS growth target raised above 9%
DTE Energy said it is selling primarily all of its DTE Vantage business for approximately $3 billion to institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, with closing targeted in the first half of 2027. The company also raised its long-term operating EPS growth target to greater than 9% through 2031, up from a prior 6% to 8% range, and increased its five-year utility capital plan to $44 billion, which it says is nearly 30% above the prior plan.
Key points
- Transaction value of approximately $3 billion for primarily all DTE Vantage assets, excluding EES Coke and several named custom energy solutions and renewable energy sites
- Target closing in the first half of 2027; sale proceeds will be invested in utility businesses, reducing equity and debt needs
- Operating EPS growth target of greater than 9% from 2027 to 2031, versus prior 6% to 8% growth profile; 2026 operating EPS guidance of $7.59 to $7.73 remains, with the company positioned to achieve the high end
- Average annual equity issuances targeted at about $1 billion from 2027 to 2031; dividend to increase 7% in 2027
