Sempra stock (ISIN US8168511090) was last at USD 78.16 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, 2.56 percent above its 52-week low of USD 76.21. The latest operating signal came from the second quarter, when Sempra reported adjusted EPS of USD 1.16 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Quarterly EPS beats expectations

Sempra's adjusted EPS increased from USD 0.89 in the second quarter of 2025 to USD 1.16 in the second quarter of 2026, a gain of 30.34 percent. The company also reported GAAP diluted EPS of USD 1.21, compared with USD 0.71 a year earlier, according to Sempra in its August 6, 2026 release.

Revenue was USD 2.997 billion in the second quarter, compared with USD 3.000 billion in the same quarter of 2025. The small revenue decline contrasts with the stronger earnings performance, making the earnings mix and cost control more important than headline sales growth for the next report.

Guidance keeps the earnings test high

Sempra updated its full-year 2026 GAAP EPS guidance to USD 5.02 to USD 5.55 and reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance of USD 4.80 to USD 5.30. The company also reaffirmed its 2027 adjusted EPS guidance range of USD 5.10 to USD 5.70 and a projected long-term EPS growth rate of 7 percent to 9 percent.

The guidance gives the market a clear benchmark for the next quarterly update. Second-quarter adjusted EPS of USD 1.16 represented 24.17 percent of the midpoint of the 2026 adjusted guidance range, so execution across the remaining reporting periods remains central to the valuation.

Analysts see upside from USD 78.16

MarketBeat reports a Moderate Buy consensus from 16 analysts, with an average 12-month price target of USD 100.36, a high target of USD 118.00 and a low target of USD 83.00 on October 2, 2026. The average target lies 28.38 percent above Sempra's USD 78.16 price on October 5.

That target spread also shows the debate around Sempra: the low target is only USD 4.84 above the October 5 price, while the high target is USD 39.84 higher. The market is therefore balancing the company's earnings growth and utility investment plans against the demands of a large capital program and regulatory execution.

Stock stays close to 52-week low

Sempra's 52-week range was USD 76.21 to USD 101.04 on October 5, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at USD 51.1 billion and volume reached 3,599,062 shares. The stock was last at USD 78.16, down USD 0.22, or 0.28 percent, from the prior session close.
