2026 Outlook

Due to warmer than normal weather, OGE Energy expects to exceed its original 2026 earnings guidance range. OGE Energy now expects consolidated earnings between $2.62 to $2.68 per average diluted share. The guidance assumes, among other things, normal weather for the remainder of the year. OG&E has significant seasonality in its earnings due to weather on a year-over-year basis.
