Northwest Natural Holding Co. (US66765R1023) stock traded at $49.39 on September 3, 2026, with a market cap of $2.08 billion and a 52-week range of $40.90 to $55.99. The company also sold $120 million in long-term bonds, a fresh financing step that gives the utility a new funding reference.
Bond terms matter
According to a StockTitan report on the NWN 8-K filing, Northwest Natural Gas Company issued $60 million of 5.62 percent bonds due September 3, 2036 and $60 million of 6.26 percent bonds due September 3, 2056. For investors, the mix of maturities and coupons is the key detail because it shows the cost of capital on new debt.
The stock also carried a P/E ratio of 16.37 and a dividend yield of 4.00% on September 3, 2026, while average volume stood at 215,760 shares and the session volume reached 129,000 shares. That leaves the name close to the upper half of its yearly band, but still below the $55.99 high.
Latest numbers
Robinhood listed Northwest Natural with market capitalization of $2.08 billion, price earnings ratio of 16.37 and dividend yield of 4.00% as of September 3, 2026. The same snapshot showed the shares moving between $49.00 and $49.56 during the session, with the close at $49.39.
Northwest Natural operates local gas and water distribution in Oregon and southwest Washington, and Robinhood said the company had 1,298 employees and was founded in 1859. That utility profile helps explain why the market watches financing moves, dividend support and capital structure so closely.
Gas utility profile
The core business remains local distribution rather than a growth story built on volume leaps. In this setup, debt pricing, bond maturity and dividend coverage matter more than headline expansion language.
