Why Is Xcel Energy Up Today?

Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) — shares moved higher after several broker actions and updated analyst forecasts. Below are the events likely driving the stock today and how each may influence investor sentiment.

Investor takeaway: Broker upgrades (TD Cowen) and reaffirmations (Jefferies), plus KeyCorp's multi‑year growth projections, are driving positive momentum and the recent 52‑week high. Offsetting risks include a large rise in short interest and a slight near‑term earnings downgrade from KeyCorp — factors that could increase volatility. Monitor guidance/quarterly results and any follow-up analyst commentary for confirmation of sustained upside.
