Atmos Energy reported stronger interim results with increased operating revenues and net income, driven by rate adjustments and investments in safety and reliability. The company invested significantly in capital expenditures and raised its full-year EPS guidance while reaffirming its long-term EPS growth objective and boosting its quarterly dividend. However, a lawsuit was filed following a gas main leak and house explosion, raising concerns about safety practices and potentially leading to increased costs and tighter regulations.
