National Fuel Gas stock (ISIN US6536091007) was quoted at USD 78.98 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, up 0.47 percent from the prior close. The latest company catalyst is a quarterly dividend of USD 0.555 per share approved on September 17, 2026.

Dividend date brings a clear checkpoint

According to National Fuel Gas on September 17, 2026, the payment is scheduled for October 15, 2026, for shareholders of record on September 30, 2026. The company said it had approximately 95.0 million common shares outstanding, making the declared quarterly amount equivalent to an annualized dividend of USD 2.22 per share.

The dividend decision gives the stock a defined near-term event, while the September 30 record date arrives before the October payment date. For investors, the relevant counterweight is the companys lower fiscal-year earnings outlook.

Third-quarter earnings reset expectations

National Fuels fiscal third quarter of 2026 produced GAAP net income of USD 138.6 million, down from USD 149.8 million in the same quarter a year earlier, while GAAP EPS declined to USD 1.45 from USD 1.64, according to Yahoo Finance.

Revenue reached USD 537.5 million in the quarter, below the USD 562.25 million estimate, while adjusted EPS of USD 1.54 exceeded the USD 1.42 estimate, as Investing.com reported on August 31, 2026. The mixed result matters because earnings resilience did not prevent a lower full-year outlook.

Guidance and valuation set the range

Fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance stands at USD 7.40 to USD 7.60, compared with the earlier USD 7.45 to USD 7.75 range, according to Yahoo Finance. KeyBanc maintained an Overweight rating and a USD 95.00 price target on August 31, 2026, putting the target 20.26 percent above the September 24 quote, according to Investing.com.
