Jesus Soto Jr., EVP and COO of CenterPoint Energy, sold 17,075 shares worth $686,000 on August 11, 2026, through a non-discretionary transaction to cover tax withholding on vesting restricted stock units. Despite the sale, Soto retains 173,355 shares and over 146,000 RSUs vesting through 2029. CenterPoint Energy is positioned to benefit from data center growth in Texas but faces a $67 billion expansion plan that could lead to share dilution.
