The filing is a routine investor update with no new financial data — reaffirmed guidance and strategic plan. Monitor the Ohio rate case final order (due within 360 days of filing) and WV CPCN approval (expected 2H 2026) as key catalysts. Data center demand growth (32% contracted increase) supports the long-term investment thesis but is already embedded in guidance.
