AltaGas stock (ISIN CA0213611001) was last at CAD 54.40 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.22 percent from the prior close. The company had completed a US$750 million senior note offering on October 1, 2026, adding a concrete balance-sheet event to the investment case.

Debt refinancing resets the balance sheet

According to Newswire on October 1, 2026, AltaGas Services, a wholly owned subsidiary, closed the offering of US$750 million of 5.750 percent senior notes due in 2031. The notes are guaranteed by AltaGas, and the proceeds are intended for credit-facility repayment or the redemption or repurchase of medium-term notes.

The transaction addresses refinancing needs rather than adding a new operating asset. That distinction matters because the company is simultaneously expanding capital spending across regulated utilities and midstream infrastructure.

Guidance points to double digit growth

In its Q2 2026 earnings call, Yahoo Finance reported that normalized EBITDA reached CAD 391 million, up 14 percent from Q2 2025, while normalized EPS rose 15 percent to CAD 0.31. Management raised normalized EBITDA guidance by 4 percent to CAD 2.0 billion-CAD 2.1 billion and normalized EPS guidance by 6 percent to CAD 2.35-CAD 2.60 for 2026.

The same call also identified execution risk at the REEF export project. Weather and marine conditions caused more than 450 lost rig days, and AltaGas moved the expected start date to before the end of Q1 2027 while increasing the capital cost estimate by 12 percent.

Analysts see limited near term upside

On October 7, 2026, MarketBeat listed a Buy consensus based on 8 analysts, with an average target of CAD 56.56, a high target of CAD 63.00 and a low target of CAD 50.00. The average target lies 4.0 percent above the October 7 reference price of CAD 54.40.

Yahoo Finance lists October 29, 2026 as the next earnings date, giving investors a near term checkpoint for the higher guidance and REEF timetable.
