Centerpoint Energy Surges 1.49% on $250M Texas Infrastructure Push Volume Ranks 444th in Market Activity

On October 3, 2025, Centerpoint Energy (CNP) rose 1.49% to close at $34.85, with a trading volume of $240 million, ranking 444th in market activity. The stock’s midday liquidity profile showed moderate participation from institutional buyers, though retail investor activity remained subdued according to exchange data feeds.

Recent regulatory filings revealed a $250 million infrastructure project approval in Texas, which analysts estimate could add 8-12% to the company’s 2026 EBITDA forecast. The announcement coincided with a 15% increase in short-term options volume, suggesting market participants are hedging against potential volatility from upcoming earnings reports. Energy sector analysts noted the project’s alignment with regional grid modernization goals, though no new capital expenditure guidance was disclosed.

Technical indicators showed a 12-day relative strength index of 62, indicating slight overbought conditions. The stock’s 50-day moving average crossed above its 200-day line earlier this week, forming a potential bullish pattern. However, energy analysts cautioned that winter heating demand projections remain below 2024 levels, which could limit upside momentum if natural gas prices fail to stabilize.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details that the brief didn’t spell out. Please let me know (or confirm my defaults) on the following points so I can proceed without making assumptions you wouldn’t want: 1. Universe • Do we rank every listed US common stock each day, or restrict the universe (e.g., NYSE + NASDAQ common shares only, or current S&P 500 constituents)? 2. Ranking time-stamp • Daily volume is known only after the close. • The usual workflow is therefore: a) rank yesterday’s close volume; b) buy at today’s open; c) exit at tomorrow’s open/close. • Please confirm if that is acceptable or if you prefer another timing (e.g., buy at same-day close and exit next-day close). 3. Price used for trade entry/exit • Open prices (for entry) and next-day close prices (for exit) are the cleanest. • Any alternative? 4. Costs & slippage • Should we apply a per-trade commission or assume frictionless execution? Once these are settled I’ll generate the required daily basket, create the 1-day holding signals and run the back-test.
