SR

In the past six months (April 2026 - October 2026), Spire Inc.'s stock (SR) has trended downwards by 16.45% over the last six months and 5.93% over the past year. The stock has been pressured by rising Treasury yields, which have broadly impacted rate-sensitive utility stocks. Spire reported its fiscal Q3 2026 results on August 5, 2026, with revenue increasing by 19.2% year-over-year to $420.2 million, exceeding estimates. However, the adjusted loss of $0.26 per share missed the consensus estimate, largely due to a significant 78.7% surge in net interest expense amid higher debt costs. Despite the earnings miss, Spire reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.90-$4.10. The company also declared a dividend in July 2026. Earlier in the six-month period, in March 2026, Spire announced the sale of its gas marketing business, Spire Marketing Inc., for $215 million, and in April 2026, it announced the sale of its natural gas storage assets in Wyoming and Oklahoma for $650 million. These divestitures were intended to partially fund the acquisition of the Piedmont Natural Gas Tennessee business, which closed on March 31, 2026.
