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

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are the key points for why Sempra (SRE) stock moved by 14% for the approximate time period from July 31, 2025, to November 13, 2025:

1. Sempra reported stronger-than-expected adjusted earnings for the third quarter of 2025. The company announced on November 5, 2025, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.11, significantly beating the consensus analyst estimate of $0.84 (or $0.93 according to some reports). Additionally, quarterly revenue rose by 13.5% year-over-year to $3.15 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations. This strong financial performance likely contributed positively to investor sentiment.

2. Sempra's Texas utility, Oncor, announced a substantial increase in its capital expenditure plan. Concurrent with the Q3 earnings, Sempra highlighted Oncor's plans to boost its five-year capital plan (2025-2029) by over 30%. This increase is driven by robust performance and surging power demand from industrial and data center customers, signaling significant future growth opportunities and investment in infrastructure.
