Strong Financial Performance and Growth Potential Drive Buy Rating for New Jersey ResourcesWeston, CFA | (713) 278-5276 | 4Q25 FY25 Lands Near Street, FY26 Guide in Line, and Growth Trajectory Firms; TP to $53 RECOMMENDATION We’re constructive on NJR’s ability to differentiate itself among steadier gas utilities through its core NJNG utility, along with regulated midstream assets, and key unregulated businesses (e.g., commercial solar (CEV), trading/marketing). While this business mix does have its doubters, NJR has consistently performed well and runs a quality financial model - operating at a peer-leading 18-20% FFO-to-debt ratio and regularly funding capex without material dilution. Moreover, F4Q25 updates suggest growth is firming (e.g., ongoing NJNG spend, Leaf River expansions in time, firming CEV pipeline). We reiterate our Outperform rating.
