DTE Energy misses quarterly profit estimates as energy trading unit swings to loss

DTE Energy missed Wall Street's first-quarter profit estimates after its energy trading business swung to a loss, partially offsetting stronger earnings from the electric utility unit. The miss points to mixed underlying fundamentals despite resilience in the core regulated utility business. The report is likely to pressure sentiment on the stock, though the impact should be company-specific rather than sector-wide.
