David Arcaro has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Sempra’s improving growth and financial profile. Management meetings reinforced his confidence in robust Texas-driven expansion, with Oncor experiencing strong load growth, expanding capital investment plans, and additional upside from large commercial and industrial projects such as data centers, all underpinned by a constructive regulatory backdrop and an anticipated rate case settlement.
He also views the planned divestitures of Sempra Infrastructure and Ecogas as key steps that should reduce equity financing needs, strengthen the balance sheet, and increase the proportion of regulated earnings, which in turn could support credit rating improvements over time. While California wildfire policy remains a watch point, upcoming legislative and regulatory clarity is expected to further de-risk the story, supporting Sempra’s path toward its 2030 earnings objectives and justifying a favorable long-term valuation stance on the shares.
In another report released today, TipRanks – PerPlexity also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $107.00 price target.
