Action:ReiteratedDate:03/31/26
The score is held back primarily by weakening financial statement trends (recent revenue declines, uneven cash conversion with historically negative free cash flow, and 2025 operating-profit volatility). Offsetting this, technicals are positive with a strong moving-average structure and supportive momentum, while the latest earnings call provided clear long-term guidance and a funded regulated growth plan. Valuation remains a restraint due to the high P/E, with only moderate support from the dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Large regulated capital plan & rate-base growth
A $65B, 2026–2030 plan focused 95% on regulated utilities and a projected rate base growing from $57B to $97B by 2030 creates durable earnings visibility. Steady rate-base expansion supports allowed returns and predictable cash flows tied to regulated frameworks over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Sharp recent revenue declines & profit volatility
Material top-line declines and abnormal 2025 operating-profit swings weaken earnings quality and lower return on capital. Persistent revenue pressure reduces cushion for elevated capex and interest costs and makes multi-year EPS guidance more execution-sensitive to regulatory and operating outcomes.

Earnings breakdown
Earnings breakdown
Offers a detailed view of earnings sources, helping to assess the sustainability of profits and identify key drivers of financial performance.
Chart InsightsSempra’s earnings mix shows a structural reporting shift—SDG&E and SoCalGas line items drop to zero while a new 'Sempra California' line appears in late‑2023, concentrating California utility earnings and masking prior comparability. Sempra Infrastructure swings sharply negative in Q3‑2025 from transaction and tax items tied to the $10B stake sale (explains the GAAP EPS hit), but adjusted EPS and heavy capital deployment—plus accelerating Texas utility (Oncor) growth—suggest underlying operational momentum; expect near‑term GAAP volatility while asset monetizations bolster long‑term EPS and funding for LNG and grid investments.

Sempra Energy Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a largely constructive and growth-oriented outlook: management reported record adjusted EPS, meaningful improvements in operating cash flow (+$5 billion vs prior plan), an aggressive $65 billion 2026–2030 capital plan (17% increase) focused 95% on regulated utility investments, and strategic portfolio actions (sale of 45% SIP, Ecogas sale, LNG project progress) that together strengthen funding flexibility and support guidance through 2030. Notable near-term weaknesses include material year-over-year GAAP declines (quarterly and full-year), Q4 adjusted softness, continued cost and interest expense pressures, and execution/closing risks tied to transactions and regulatory outcomes (California GRC, Oncor final order, ERCOT batch-zero). On balance, the highlights—strong cash generation, secured funding strategy for the base plan, clear growth visibility, and reiterated multi-year guidance—outweigh the lowlights, though several execution and regulatory risks remain.
Positive Updates
Record Adjusted EPS and Strong Annual Results
Full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.69 per share (record), at the high end of guidance; full-year adjusted earnings $3.066 billion vs $2.969 billion in 2024 (+3.3% in dollars, +0.9% on a per-share basis).
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Sempra reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.80–$5.30, introduced 2027 guidance of $5.10–$5.70 and a 2030 EPS outlook of $6.70–$7.50 (midpoint ≈ $7.10), implying roughly a 7–9% CAGR from the 2026 base and supported by a target annual dividend growth rate of 2–4%; it launched a record $65 billion 2026–2030 capital plan (up 17% year-over-year) with 95% allocated to utility investments, is tracking $9 billion of upside (≈$8B to Sempra on a proportionate basis; Oncor cites ~$10B incremental opportunities gross), expects rate base to grow from $57B in 2025 to $97B in 2030 (~11% five‑year CAGR) with Sempra Texas rate base ~18% CAGR and ~70% of Oncor’s CapEx dedicated to transmission, plans to fund the base plan without new common equity using >$50B of operational cash flows and transaction proceeds (operating cash flows up ~$5B vs. last year; ~$2.2B from the SIP transaction falls outside the plan period) while retaining a 25% SIP stake (implied value ≈ $5.5B), and after closing expects regulated earnings to comprise ~95% of the business with a targeted 50–150 bps cushion above FFO‑to‑debt downgrade thresholds.

Sempra Energy Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Mixed fundamentals. Revenue has declined sharply in the last two years, and 2025 shows unusual operating-profit volatility (negative EBITDA/zero EBIT reported), which raises earnings-quality uncertainty. Balance sheet leverage is meaningful but utility-typical; however, ROE has faded to mid-single digits. Cash flow is the key drag: multi-year negative free cash flow with only a recent improvement in 2025.
