Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
The stock of Sempra (SRE) experienced a gain of 10.8% over the past three months, outperforming the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLU) 5% gains during the same timeframe. This performance can be attributed to several key factors.
1. Strong Q3 2025 Earnings Performance. Sempra reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.11 for the third quarter of 2025, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $0.93. The company's revenue also increased by 13.5% year-over-year, reaching $3.2 billion. Sempra affirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $4.30 to $4.70.
2. Strategic Infrastructure Investments. Sempra is significantly investing in its infrastructure, planning to allocate $13 billion in 2025, primarily for transmission and distribution upgrades at its regulated utilities. The company anticipates capital investments to increase by approximately 30% from 2026-2029, supporting an estimated 10% annual rate base growth through 2025-2029. These investments aim to enhance operational reliability, efficiency, and meet growing electricity demand, partly driven by the expansion of AI data centers.
