Six analyst ratings put the average target for Northwest Natural stock at USD 56.80 on October 16, 2026, according to Barron's. That target is 15.94 percent above the NYSE close of USD 48.99. Northwest Natural last traded at USD 48.99 on October 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, up 1.32 percent versus the prior close of USD 48.35.

Second-quarter figures set the base

The latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. MarketBeat reported revenue of USD 243.55 million, up 3.10 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Earnings per share reached USD 0.01, compared with a consensus loss of USD 0.08.

The comparison is mixed rather than one-sided. Revenue came in below the USD 271.87 million consensus estimate, while earnings per share were USD 0.09 above expectations. The quarter therefore gives investors two different signals in the same reporting period.

Trading range keeps the stock in view

The October 16, 2026 session covered USD 48.48 to USD 49.27, with a closing volume of 368,220 shares against an average of 243,500. That volume was 51.22 percent above the average. The stock stood 10.21 percent above its 52-week low of USD 44.45 and 12.50 percent below its 52-week high of USD 55.99.

The stock's year-to-date gain was 4.81 percent as of October 16, 2026. Its market value was USD 2.1 billion, while the trailing price-to-earnings ratio was 16.29 and the dividend yield was 4.08 percent.

November 5 is the next date

Northwest Natural Holdings scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call for November 5, 2026. The company said the call would begin at 11:00 a.m. EDT. The date is the next concrete event for investors after the second-quarter figures.

The valuation picture is tied to the analyst target rather than to a new company announcement. USD 56.80 would place the average target 15.94 percent above the October 16 close, while the current quotation remains inside the company's 52-week range.

Price and investor frame

Northwest Natural combines regulated gas and water operations with a recent quarterly revenue increase of 3.10 percent and earnings per share above consensus. The next test arrives with the third-quarter report scheduled for November 5, 2026.

The October 16, 2026 NYSE close was USD 48.99 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, up 1.32 percent versus the prior close of USD 48.35.
