Fundamental quality

DEMANDING

32

out of 100

Sempra earns a fundamental-quality score of 32 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 14.6%). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +3.3%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Sempra is an energy holding with three legs: the regulated utilities of San Diego and Southern California, Texas's largest distributor (Oncor) and LNG export terminals under construction. California pays the bills; Texas and gas provide the growth.

What will shape its future

  • Texas: the state's power demand grows like nowhere else and Oncor is its grid.
  • LNG projects, giant capital with decades-long contracts.
  • California regulation, demanding and expensive, its most delicate leg.
