Meeting set for May 7, 2026; record date March 10, 2026
DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE) said it will hold its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders on May 7, 2026. The record date for the meeting is March 10, 2026.
The company announced the dates in a press release on Dec. 3, 2025, and said it will file the official notice and proxy materials with the SEC ahead of the meeting. Shareholders should look to the proxy statement for the meeting time, format and the full agenda items that will be presented for vote.
How eligibility, timing and proxy materials will be handled
The record date of March 10, 2026 determines which holders of DTE stock are eligible to receive the notice of meeting and to vote. If you owned shares on that date, you will be listed as a shareholder of record for the meeting. If your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, you will generally need to instruct that intermediary to vote on your behalf unless you receive a proxy card directly.
The company said it will file its definitive proxy statement and form of proxy with the SEC. Those filings typically spell out the exact meeting time, whether the meeting will be in-person, virtual, or hybrid, and the procedures for attending and voting. Expect the proxy packet to include the board’s recommendations, information on nominees for election, executive compensation details and any shareholder proposals.
Watch the proxy filing for deadlines: the notice will state the last day to vote by phone, online or by returning a proxy card, and it will explain how to obtain copies of the proxy materials. If you plan to attend in person or virtually, the proxy statement will set out registration and login instructions where relevant.
What the meeting could mean for shareholders and proxy-season watchpoints
For investors, an annual meeting at a large regulated utility like DTE usually centers on routine governance items: election of directors, advisory votes on executive pay, and ratification of auditors. Those votes can affect board composition and management oversight, so they matter even when outcomes seem predictable.
This year’s meeting will be watched in the context of broader proxy-season themes. Utility shareholders increasingly focus on capital allocation, dividend policy, grid investment and how companies manage the transition to lower-carbon generation. Expect scrutiny of board oversight on climate and reliability, disclosures about emissions and resilience, and any shareholder proposals on those topics.
Proxy advisers and institutional investors may weigh in on director elections and compensation programs. Close or contested votes can prompt follow-up actions from companies or activist investors. For steady dividend-focused holders, the main short-term impacts are governance-related; for more active investors, outcomes can influence management priorities and capital spending plans over the next year.
Concrete steps shareholders should take now
First, confirm whether you are a shareholder of record as of March 10, 2026. If your shares are held in a brokerage account, contact your broker to make sure they will receive and forward proxy materials and to learn how to submit voting instructions.
Second, review the company’s definitive proxy statement when it is filed. That document contains the official agenda, the board’s recommendations, biographies of director nominees, executive pay tables and any shareholder proposals. It will also list the deadline to submit votes by mail, phone or online.
If you plan to submit a shareholder proposal or nominate a director, follow the procedures in DTE’s bylaws and the timelines in the proxy statement. Those rules usually require advance notice to the corporate secretary and specific supporting information. For quick questions, contact DTE’s investor relations and the corporate secretary’s office.
