Data Center Pipeline Size Declined but Quality Improved; Q2 Miss

CITI'S TAKE

The selloff of the stock on the 7GW data center pipeline reduction seems like

an overreaction. The remaining pipeline appears higher quality, with 11 GW

classified as high probability (includes 4GW backed by $1B of collateral). Buy

Outside this pipeline reset, EXC added a new $1B ACE battery project Price (29 Jul 26 16:00) US$47.03

(outside of plan), advocated for VPPs and batteries, and continued to guide

Target price US$58.00$12–17B transmission upside. EXC’s Q2 $0.43 adj. EPS missed Citi but FY26

guidance reaffirmed. Expected share price return 23.3%

Expected dividend yield 3.6%

Data Center Pipeline Reset, Down ~7GW — EXC reduced the disclosed data center Expected total return 26.9%

pipeline by ~7GW to 36GW, consisting of 11GW high probability and 25GW in future

but the lower headline drove the negative stock reaction. Price Performance

PJM Policy Outlook Getting Better — EXC management applauded PJM’s actions to

address the short-term resource adequacy issues but acknowledged longer-term

structural challenges remain. In our view, the positive rhetoric suggests more

constructive outcome for meaningful market reform, which is positive for EXC.
