TXNM Energy ( (TXNM) ) has issued an announcement.

On December 18–19, 2025, TXNM Energy and its subsidiaries undertook a series of financing and liability-management actions, including TNMP’s private placement of $70 million of 4.69% first mortgage bonds due 2031 secured by a first lien on substantially all of TNMP’s property, with proceeds earmarked for repaying short-term debt and funding general corporate purposes and capital spending. Over the same period, TXNM, PNM and TNMP amended and partially extended their revolving credit agreements, with TXNM and PNM removing SOFR adjustments and extending maturities to March 29, 2030, and TNMP both extending its revolver and upsizing its facility from $200 million to $300 million backed by newly issued Series 2025I first mortgage bonds, while ensuring that the planned merger with Blackstone’s Troy ParentCo will not trigger change-of-control defaults under these facilities or the new TNMP bond indentures. In a separate move to reduce pension risk, on December 18, 2025 TXNM directed the trustee of the PNM Resources Employees’ Retirement Plan to pay a single premium of about $91.9 million to Delaware Life Insurance Company in exchange for a group annuity contract that transfers a portion of PNM’s pension obligations related to its previously sold gas distribution business, a transaction expected to result in a non-cash charge of roughly $60 million to PNM’s net income while shifting future benefit payment responsibilities to the insurer.

Spark’s Take on TXNM Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TXNM is a Neutral.

TXNM Energy’s overall stock score reflects solid financial performance with strong revenue growth and improved debt management. However, challenges such as declining net profit margins, negative free cash flow, and a high P/E ratio weigh on the score. The technical indicators suggest a positive trend, but the overbought condition indicates caution. The absence of recent earnings call insights or notable corporate events means these factors do not influence the score.
