Company Overview Metric Value Market capitalization $6.42 billion Revenue (TTM) $2.11 billion Net income (TTM) $176.92 million Price (as of Monday) $58.92 Company Snapshot TXNM Energy provides electricity generation, transmission, and distribution services, as well as regulated transmission and distribution through its PNM and TNMP segments. The company operates a regulated utility business model, generating revenue primarily from the sale and delivery of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in New Mexico and Texas.
