Sempra (SRE) Stock Looks Fairly Priced Despite Strong Returns And Richer Earnings
Sempra stock has delivered a gain of 43.3% over the past five years, yet on broad valuation checks it still leans expensive rather than clearly cheap. Recent share price weakness adds another wrinkle for investors trying to judge whether the current level fairly reflects the utility group's prospects. The 43.3% return over five years points to solid longer term value creation, which now raises the question of how much of that progress is already reflected in the share price. The recent sale of Ecogas México may support capital recycling and balance sheet strength. However, any execution missteps in refocusing on core regulated utilities in Texas and California could weigh on how investors view Sempra's risk profile. With a value score of 2 out of 6, Sempra does not screen as a clear bargain on the broader valuation checks. The issue now is whether Sempra's current valuation still offers enough potential reward to compensate for the risks around its refocused utility portfolio and capital allocation plans. Compare Sempra's valuation and recent returns with a hand picked list of other regulated utilities through the 39 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks P/E works well for Sempra because earnings are a key focus for regulated utilities where cash flows are shaped by approved returns. Sempra trades on a P/E of about 23.6x, compared with an integrated utilities industry average of roughly 18.4x and a peer group average near 19.9x. On raw comparison, investors are paying a premium for each dollar of Sempra's earnings relative to many similar utilities. The fair P/E ratio for Sempra, based on its specific profile, is estimated at about 26.1x. That is modestly above the current 23.6x level. Despite the recent Ecogas México sale supporting the capital recycling story, the market multiple still sits a little below what this model implies would be justified for Sempra's earnings. Overall, Sempra stock appears roughly fairly valued on its P/E multiple, with only a small discount to the modelled fair ratio. See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown. Simply Wall St Narratives pick up where this Sempra valuation puzzle leaves off.

They spell out what would need to happen to Sempra's growth, margins and earnings for the stock to be worth materially more or less than today's price, and they sit on the company's Community page. Each one treats fair value as a thesis about Sempra's business that you can track over time rather than a one off snapshot. You can add your voice to the Sempra conversation by sharing a Narrative that lays out a clear, number driven view on whether the Ecogas México sale really supports the value the current share price implies. Set out your thesis now and see how it holds up as Sempra's execution and results unfold. Do you think there's more to the story for Sempra? Head over to our Community to see what others are saying! On the current P/E, Sempra looks about right rather than clearly undervalued or overvalued. The premium to industry and peer averages suggests the market already prices in a relatively strong outcome for the refocused utility portfolio and capital plans. The low value score signals that broader checks do not flag a clear bargain, so the appeal now rests on whether Sempra can execute cleanly on its shift toward core regulated operations. The key question from here is whether that execution and risk profile ultimately support the existing earnings multiple or lead to a reset in expectations.

The transaction is expected to close later in the third quarter. Martin said the SI Partners sale supports Sempra’s strategy of simplifying its business model, recycling capital into regulated utilities and reducing the need for common equity under its current capital plan. The transaction is also expected to deconsolidate nearly $9 billion of debt from Sempra’s balance sheet. → MarketBeat Week in Review – 08/03 - 08/07 Management said it expects Texas to become a larger share of the company’s operations, with a goal for the state to account for more than 60% of Sempra’s total rate base by 2030. Sempra emphasized growth prospects at Oncor, its Texas electric transmission and distribution business, as ERCOT recorded an all-time peak load of 91 gigawatts in July. Oncor’s five-year base capital plan totals $47.5 billion, supplemented by $10 billion in identified incremental capital opportunities through 2030. The incremental opportunities include $4 billion of North and Central Texas transmission upgrades endorsed by ERCOT, $3 billion of non-Permian Basin reliability projects endorsed in 2025 and approximately $3 billion associated with a system resiliency plan filing expected next year. Martin said Oncor expects its next five-year capital-plan update on Sempra’s fourth-quarter call. He said management expects the plan to increase and that the business has flexibility to sequence projects within its capital program. The Public Utility Commission of Texas recently approved ERCOT’s Batch Zero process for evaluating and sequencing large-load interconnection requests. Sempra said 44 GW of load requests could be eligible as base or studied load on Oncor’s transmission system, including 27 GW classified as base load and 17 GW requiring further system-wide reliability analysis. That potential load would equal a 140% increase over Oncor’s current system peak load of 31 GW. About 8 GW of the 44 GW is already connected and expected to ramp toward full utilization, according to management. Oncor holds nearly $6 billion in collateral from large-load customers, including more than $2 billion related to the Batch Zero submissions. Management said any transmission projects ultimately required through Batch Zero would be incremental to both Oncor’s base plan and its currently identified incremental opportunities. ERCOT’s timeline for identifying potential transmission projects is expected to extend beyond February 2027, meaning Oncor’s next capital-plan update is not expected to include Batch Zero-related investments. Oncor CEO Allen Nye said the company’s overall interconnection queue reached 298 GW. He said the difference between a previously cited 127.5 GW advanced pipeline and the 44 GW in Batch Zero reflects stricter requirements under the finalized Batch Zero rules, including completed studies, financial security, site control and contracting-resource attestations. Martin said Sempra Infrastructure is progressing on the planned sale of Ecogas in Mexico after receiving a regulatory approval, with the transaction expected to close later in August. At ECA LNG Phase 1, Sempra Infrastructure CEO Justin Bird said the company identified damage to equipment connected to mixed refrigerant compressors following planned maintenance and inspections after its first cargo export in July. The company is working with its engineering, procurement and construction contractor and the original equipment vendor on the cause and remediation plan. Bird said ECA LNG Phase 1 is expected to reach substantial completion in the fourth quarter of 2026, with sales under long-term sale-and-purchase agreements beginning shortly afterward. He said the company does not anticipate further delays and that ECA’s substantial completion is not a condition precedent for the SI Partners transaction. Management also said Port Arthur LNG Phases 1 and 2 remain on time and on budget. Sedgwick said the SI Partners transaction is central to Sempra’s credit-improvement efforts. She said Moody’s is monitoring the closing of the transaction, associated debt deconsolidation and progress on infrastructure-project milestones. Sedgwick said she expects rating-agency changes could come early next year, while noting the company is meeting regularly with rating agencies. Management said it remains constructive on California legislative discussions regarding wildfire liability and broader affordability and insurance issues, but declined to assess potential proposals before bill language is available. Martin said the company’s California rate base is growing at roughly 5%, compared with utility-platform growth of approximately 11% at the enterprise level. He said Sempra believes its existing California capital plan is appropriately sized to support safety, reliability and affordability. At the end of the call, Martin announced that Sedgwick will become the incoming chief executive officer of Southern California Gas Co. Justin Bird will become Sempra’s incoming chief financial officer. The leadership rotations are expected to take effect around the close of the SI Partners transaction later in the quarter.

On that approach, Sempra at $83.88 trades well above an estimated future cash flow value of $46.26, which points to an overvalued outcome instead. These two signals pull in opposite directions and rest on very different assumptions about future growth and cash generation. The key question for you is which set of assumptions feels closer to how Sempra is likely to perform, and how much valuation risk you are prepared to carry as a result. Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value. With Sempra pulling in both risks and rewards, do you feel the picture is balanced enough for your own portfolio decisions, or does it raise more questions that need answering?

Compared to Estimates, Sempra (SRE) Q2 Earnings: A Look at Key Metrics
Sempra (SRE) reported $3 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, representing a year-over-year decline of 0.1%. EPS of $1.16 for the same period compares to $0.89 a year ago. The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.22 billion, representing a surprise of -6.83%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +14.85%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $1.01. While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance. Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance. Here is how Sempra performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts: Revenue- Sempra Infrastructure: $512 million versus $618.73 million estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a -3.4% change.

Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates
Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.2 per share. This compares to a loss of $1.19 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -95.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this power generation and infrastructure company would post earnings of $5.28 per share when it actually produced earnings of $5.55, delivering a surprise of +5.11%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Talen Energy Corporation, which belongs to the Zacks Alternative Energy - Other industry, posted revenues of $747 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.75%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $630 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Talen Energy Corporation shares have lost about 9.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13%. While Talen Energy Corporation has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Talen Energy Corporation was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock.

ONCOR REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") today reported net income of $428 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $259 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income of $169 million was driven by overall higher revenues primarily attributable to revenues recognized in connection with the surcharge filed pursuant to our comprehensive base rate review, an increase in other regulated revenues recognized related to the Unified Tracker Mechanism ("UTM") and the System Resiliency Plan ("SRP"), higher revenues due to new base rates that went into effect on June 1, 2026, updated interim rates to reflect increases in invested capital, and customer growth. Financial and operational results are provided in Tables A, B, C, D, and E below. "Economic growth cannot occur without responsible infrastructure investment, and nowhere is that more evident than in Texas today," said Oncor CEO Allen Nye. "State leaders have recently asked whether all stakeholders' concerns and the reliability of the grid are being properly considered during this period of unprecedented growth. We share the concerns of ensuring a well-balanced process that meets the needs of both reliability and Texas stakeholders. We look forward to building the infrastructure the state needs to benefit all Texans. Also, as ERCOT set new peak demand records this summer, I want to thank our employees and contractors for all their work in the summer heat to maintain the reliability of the grid and serve our customers." Oncor also reported net income of $640 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $440 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operational HighlightsIn the second quarter of 2026, Oncor built, rebuilt, or upgraded more than 900 circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines and increased its premise count by approximately 16,200, reflecting ongoing population and business growth in Texas. Active transmission point-of-interconnection ("POI") requests increased 15% year over year. As of August 1, 2026, Oncor held approximately $5.9 billion in customer collateral for active generation and Large Commercial and Industrial ("LC&I") transmission POI requests. This collateral is intended to reduce the risk of rate payers bearing costs for projects that are cancelled after Oncor has expended funds toward building the infrastructure. As of June 30, 2026, Oncor had 552 active generation POI requests in queue, composed of approximately 46% storage, 39% solar, 8% wind, and 7% gas. In addition, Oncor's active transmission LC&I interconnection queue included 737 requests at the end of the second quarter of 2026. Those requests included approximately 282 gigawatts from data centers and over 16 gigawatts of load from various other industrial sectors, demonstrating broad-based industrial growth within Oncor's service territory. During the second quarter of 2026, Oncor continued to execute on projects designed to meet increasing system reliability needs and sustained customer growth. Among other projects, in June, Oncor placed in service its portion of a new 165-mile double-circuit 345 kV transmission line known as the Delaware Basin Stage 2 Project, the first in a series of upgrades needed to resolve urgent electricity import constraints into far west Texas. In June, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. ("ERCOT") endorsed several new transmission projects serving the southern Dallas–Fort Worth area and the I-35 corridor. Together with a series of other high voltage upgrades in the southern Dallas-Fort Worth area endorsed by ERCOT in April, these projects are expected to improve customer-serving capacity across Central and North Texas while providing improved reliability benefits to all customers. All together, these projects are expected to require investment of over $7 billion with expected construction windows between 2026 and 2034. Oncor has responsibility to construct the vast majority of these projects, subject to regulatory approvals where needed. To address accelerating demand, the ERCOT board of directors and the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT") approved a system-wide approach to sequence large-load interconnection requests, the first stage of which is known as the Batch Zero process. While the timeline for Batch Zero remains to be determined, approximately 44 gigawatts of large-load requests are expected to be eligible as base or studied load to be connected to Oncor's transmission system, consisting of approximately 27 gigawatts of base load and approximately 17 gigawatts of studied load. The approximately 44 gigawatts also include approximately 8 gigawatts of existing interconnected large load that is ramping up to its authorized capacity. The projects reflect significant customer commitment through financial security, site control, and other ERCOT qualification requirements, reinforcing the substantial demand for infrastructure investment across Oncor's service territory. Oncor holds approximately $2 billion of large load customer collateral related to the Batch Zero projects, which is part of the approximately $5.9 billion of customer collateral mentioned above. Regulatory UpdateOn August 1, 2026, Oncor implemented a temporary surcharge in accordance with its recently completed comprehensive base rate review to recover the difference between Oncor's rates in effect from January 1, 2026 to June 1, 2026, and the new rates approved by the PUCT in the base rate review, which became effective on June 1, 2026. The surcharge reflects approximately $212 million of deferred revenues to be recovered in rates through the end of the year, $181 million of which were recognized during the second quarter of 2026 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The surcharge will result in an average monthly increase of approximately $3.63 over current rates for a residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity per month. Liquidity UpdateAs of August 5, 2026, Oncor's available liquidity totaled approximately $3.6 billion, consisting of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under its credit facilities, commercial paper program, and accounts receivable facility. Oncor anticipates these resources, combined with projected cash flows from operations and future financing activities, will be sufficient to meet capital expenditures, maturities of long-term debt, and other operational needs for at least the next twelve months. Sempra Internet Broadcast TodaySempra (NYSE: SRE) will broadcast a live discussion of its earnings results over the Internet today at 12 p.m. ET, which will include discussion of second quarter 2026 results and other information relating to Oncor. Oncor executives will also participate in the broadcast. Access to the broadcast is available by logging onto the Investors section of Sempra's website, sempra.com/investors.

Sempra TexasSempra continues to see strong growth opportunities in Texas through its investment in Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor). During the quarter, Oncor's new base rates became effective June 1. In addition, Oncor filed the surcharge that was approved through its recent base rate review. The surcharge, which took effect August 1, recovers the difference between the new base rates and the rates in effect from January 1 to June 1, 2026. The updated base rates better align Oncor's cost structure with today's operating environment, strengthen its financial profile and support continued infrastructure investments to meet Texas' growing energy needs. Texas continues to experience unprecedented growth in electric demand as evidenced by Electric Reliability Council of Texas' (ERCOT) new all-time peak load of 91 gigawatts (GW) set in July. Continued growth in demand is leading to a series of new opportunities to invest in the electric grid. Earlier this year, ERCOT endorsed a series of high-voltage transmission projects expected to require more than $7 billion of incremental investment, supporting approximately 16 GW of new electric demand with anticipated in-service dates between 2026 and 2034. Oncor expects to construct the majority of those projects, which are subject to regulatory approval. Also, the Public Utility Commission of Texas recently approved ERCOT's Batch Zero process, establishing a standardized framework intended to streamline large-load interconnections and support growing demand across the electric grid. While the timeline of the Batch Zero process remains to be determined, approximately 44 GW of large-load requests in Oncor's service territory are expected to be eligible as base or studied load, consisting of approximately 27 GW of base load and 17 GW of studied load. The referenced 44 GW also includes 8 GW of existing interconnected large load that is ramping up to its authorized capacity. The projects reflect significant customer commitment through financial security, site control and other ERCOT qualification requirements, reinforcing the substantial demand for infrastructure investment across Oncor's service territory. For context, if fully realized, these requests would represent over 140% growth relative to Oncor's current system peak load of 31 GW. Sempra CaliforniaIn California, Sempra's utilities remained focused on advancing safety, reliability and affordability for customers. During the quarter, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) filed their 2028 General Rate Case (GRC) applications. Together, these GRC applications demonstrate a balanced approach to advancing critical safety and reliability investments supporting wildfire risk reduction, electric reliability and resilience, and pipeline safety, while maintaining disciplined cost management and a focus on customer affordability. Regulatory momentum continued in the quarter, including the approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of SDGE's electric transmission rate, or TO6, settlement. The settlement provides a constructive outcome for SDGE's transmission business, including an authorized base return on equity of approximately 10.28% and a supportive regulatory framework for continued transmission investment. Additionally, the California Independent System Operator's 2025–2026 Transmission Plan included over $160 million of reliability-driven projects for SDGE, further supporting grid resilience. Sempra California also continued to advance innovation and deliver meaningful benefits for customers. SoCalGas estimates that its energy efficiency programs helped customers save more than $100 million on their utility bills last year, while SDGE expanded its battery energy storage capacity in the second quarter to support grid reliability. In addition, SDGE launched a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop edge-based artificial intelligence technology aimed at enhancing extreme-weather response capabilities. In combination, these efforts reflect Sempra California's broader commitment to safety, innovation and long-term system reliability.

SEMPRATable A (Continued) Sempra Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities and/or are infrequent in nature. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives and net unrealized gains and losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives, which we expect to occur in future periods, and which can vary significantly from one period to the next. Exclusion of these items is useful to management and investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra's business operations to prior and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EPS TO SEMPRA GAAP EARNINGS AND GAAP EPS Sempra Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS exclude items (after the effects of income taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests (NCI)) in 2026 and 2025 as follows: Three months ended June 30, 2026: $(71) million impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives $82 million net unrealized gains on commodity derivatives $3 million net unrealized gains on interest rate swaps related to the initial phase of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project (PA LNG Phase 1 project) $20 million net income tax benefit as a result of classifying Sempra Infrastructure Partners, LP (SI Partners) and Ecogas México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Ecogas) as held for sale, which such amounts could change in future periods until the dates of sale: Three months ended June 30, 2025: $(25) million impact from regulatory disallowances related to the recovery of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) costs at Sempra California $(97) million impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico $25 million net unrealized gains on commodity derivatives $1 million net unrealized gains on interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project $(26) million income tax expense due to the recognition of a Mexican deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference in our investment in Ecogas as a result of classifying the asset as held for sale Six months ended June 30, 2026: $(52) million impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives $85 million net unrealized gains on commodity derivatives $(8) million net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project $55 million income tax benefit as a result of classifying SI Partners and Ecogas as held for sale, which such amounts could change in future periods until the dates of sale: Six months ended June 30, 2025: $(25) million impact from regulatory disallowances related to the recovery of COVID-19 costs at Sempra California $(89) million impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico $(10) million net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives $(8) million net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project $(26) million income tax expense due to the recognition of a Mexican deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference in our investment in Ecogas as a result of classifying the asset as held for sale The table below reconciles Sempra Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS to Sempra GAAP Earnings and GAAP EPS, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. SEMPRATable A (Continued) Sempra 2026 Adjusted EPS Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities and/or infrequent in nature. This non-GAAP financial measure also excludes the impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives and net unrealized gains and losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which we expect to occur in future periods, and which can vary significantly from one period to the next. Exclusion of these items is useful to management and investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra's business operations to prior and future periods. Because we cannot reasonably estimate the forward-looking amount or range of amounts of reasonably estimable GAAP amounts, this non-GAAP financial measure does not contemplate the anticipated impacts of each of the following future events: impact from foreign currency and inflation on our monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives net unrealized gains and losses on commodity and interest rate derivatives any potential gain from the agreement to sell an equity interest in SI Partners to the KKR Partners that was entered into in September 2025, as the purchase price is subject to closing adjustments, post-closing adjustments, and tax items related to our outside basis difference in SI Partners, all of which are subject to adjustments based on changes in carrying value, foreign exchange rates and inflation until the date of sale ancillary costs associated with the sale of SI Partners We expect to complete the sale of SI Partners in the third quarter of 2026, which we expect to be accretive.

Sempra (SRE) Surpasses Q2 Earnings Estimates
Sempra (SRE) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.16 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.01 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.89 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +14.85%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this natural gas and electricity provider would post earnings of $1.51 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.51, delivering no surprise. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Sempra, which belongs to the Zacks Alternative Energy - Other industry, posted revenues of $3 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.83%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Sempra shares have lost about 4.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%. While Sempra has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Sempra was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.…Read full documentShow less

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
Good day, and welcome to Sempra's second quarter earnings call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Louise Bick. Please go ahead.
Good morning. Welcome to Sempra's second quarter 2026 earnings call. A live webcast of this teleconference and slide presentation are available on our website under the Events and Presentations section. We have several members of our management team with us today, including Jeff Martin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Karen Sedgwick, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Justin Bird, Executive Vice President of Sempra and Chief Executive Officer of Sempra Infrastructure, Caroline Winn, Executive Vice President of Sempra, Allen Nye, Chief Executive Officer of Oncor, Dyan Wold, Vice President, Controller, and Chief Accounting Officer, and other members of our senior management team. Before starting, I'd like to remind everyone that we'll be discussing forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement we make today.
The factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially are discussed in the company's most recent 10-Q filed with the SEC. Earnings per common share amounts in our presentation are shown on a diluted basis. We'll be discussing certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the presentation slides that accompany this call for a reconciliation to GAAP measures. We also encourage you to review our 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30th, 2026. I'd also like to mention that forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of today, August 6th, 2026. It's important to note that the company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements in the future. Finally, we've established a new corporate updates page within the Sempra Investors website to post investor updates while complying with our disclosure obligations under SEC Regulation FD.
We encourage you to subscribe to the email alerts so you remain informed of any developments. With that, please turn to slide three. Let me hand the call over to Jeff.
Thank you for joining us today. Our operating businesses are executing well, and our employees are aligned around our mission of building America's leading utility growth business. The strength of our execution can be seen in year-to-date financial results with double-digit gains in adjusted EPS and positive contributions from all three growth segments. Karen will cover our financial results in more detail later in the call, but on this first slide, I thought it'd be helpful to cover our key priorities for the third quarter. The first is the pending sale of a 45% equity stake in SI Partners. The transaction is expected to close later in the quarter and directly supports our corporate strategy by simplifying our business model, recycling capital into our regulated utilities, displacing the need for common equity in our current base capital plan, and deconsolidating close to $9 billion of debt from Sempra's balance sheet.
Our capital recycling program also extends to Mexico, where Sempra Infrastructure is making solid progress on the sale of Ecogas. They recently received a critical regulatory approval, which puts the transaction on track to close later this month. In addition to the update Sempra Infrastructure provided last week, they remain focused on the commissioning process at ECA LNG Phase 1, which remains a key priority as they continue to move that project toward full commercial operations. Sempra Infrastructure is also pleased with the continued progress at Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 and 2, which remain on time and on budget. Please turn to the next slide. Texas is continuing to experience unprecedented growth in electricity demand, as evidenced by ERCOT's new all-time peak load of 91 gigawatts that was reached last month.
With forecasts of significant load growth in the future, Oncor is well positioned to participate in what we believe is a multi-decade investment opportunity focused on modernizing and extending the electric grid. Oncor's current capital plan accounts for major investment drivers, such as new high-voltage transmission projects and other system upgrades. You'll recall that Oncor is executing on a five-year base capital plan of $47.5 billion with $10 billion of incremental capital opportunities through 2030. Through the first half of the year, Oncor's made a lot of progress in firming up these incremental opportunities, specifically the $4 billion of North and Central Texas transmission upgrades that were recently endorsed by ERCOT.
Oncor's other incremental capital opportunities include an additional $3 billion of non-Permian Basin reliability plan projects endorsed by ERCOT in 2025 and $3 billion of investment that forms a part of a system resiliency plan filing that Oncor is expected to make next year. We also expect a new set of capital opportunities. This slide highlights that any additional investments to serve load from the Batch Zero process fall outside of Oncor's $10 billion incremental capital opportunity. Please turn to the next slide where we'll discuss preliminary expectations related to ERCOT's Batch Zero process. The PUCT recently approved ERCOT's Batch Zero process, which establishes a system-wide approach for selecting and sequencing large load customer interconnection requests.
Although the timeline for the batch process is uncertain, 44 GW of large load requests are expected to be eligible as base or studied load in Oncor's transmission system. By classification, this includes 27 GW of base load, defined as not requiring additional interconnection studies or allocation, and 17 GW of studied load, which will be evaluated and assigned through a new system-wide reliability analysis. To put the magnitude of these figures in context, 44 GW of additional demand would represent a 140% increase to Oncor's current system peak load of 31 GW. Importantly, this projected load meets all the PUCT eligibility requirements. Oncor holds nearly $6 billion in collateral from large load customers, including over $2 billion for the 44 GW of Batch Zero submissions shown here.
Of the 44 GW, it's important to note that approximately eight GW is already connected to the system and continuing to ramp toward full utilization. This demonstrates that demand growth in Texas is not just a projection, but is actively occurring on Oncor's network. ERCOT will now study how the projects included in the Batch Zero process impact the existing transmission system and provide the initial results of that study. If ERCOT were to determine additional transmission is required to be built by Oncor, the capital expenditures for those projects would be incremental to Oncor's base capital plan and incremental CapEx opportunities. Looking ahead, Oncor expects to update its five-year plan on our fourth quarter call. ERCOT's current timeline for identifying additional transmission projects is expected to extend beyond February of next year, we don't expect the roll forward plan to include new capital investments associated with Batch Zero.
The key takeaway here is that we have a growing confidence in Oncor's execution of its base capital plan and incremental capital opportunities, and believe there's increasing momentum behind Oncor's long-term growth, separate and apart from how data center growth materializes in the state. Please turn to the next slide, where Karen will walk through our financial results.
Thanks, Jeff. Earlier today, Sempra reported second quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $796 million, or $1.21 per share. This compares to second quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $461 million, or $0.71 per share. On an adjusted basis, second quarter earnings were $762 million, or $1.16 per share. This is a notable increase compared to our second quarter 2025 earnings of $583 million, or $0.89 per share. As Jeff noted, we're very pleased with our performance for the first half of the year and think we're well positioned to deliver another year of strong financial results. Please turn to the next slide. Let's go over the second quarter of 2026 adjusted earnings variances compared to the same period last year.
At Sempra Texas, we had $138 million of higher equity earnings from new base rates, including interim rates, the UTM, higher invested capital and customer growth, partially offset by higher depreciation, interest expense, and O&M. Due to the timing of Oncor's comprehensive base rate settlement approved in April 2026, our second quarter earnings includes a favorable impact of approximately $50 million related to the first quarter of 2026. This amount reflects the difference between the newly approved rates and the rates previously in effect during that period. Turning to Sempra California, we had $24 million of increased earnings, primarily from higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, and higher electric transmission margin, partially offset by lower AFUDC equity. Sempra California also had $11 million of lower earnings from higher net interest expense and other, partially offset by higher income tax benefits.
At Sempra Infrastructure, earnings increased by $26 million, primarily from lower depreciation due to assets held for sale, lower O&M and other, partially offset by higher income tax expense. At Sempra Parent, results were effectively in line with the prior period. Please turn to the next slide. With strong year-to-date results and progress against our key initiatives, we're affirming our full year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.80-$5.30, and 2027 EPS guidance range of $5.10-$5.70. We're also affirming our projected long-term EPS growth rate of 7%-9%. As we look ahead, our focus remains on execution, including closing the SI Partners transaction, strengthening the balance sheet post-close, and continuing to advance our record $65 billion capital plan. This capital plan is centered on utility growth, with investments increasingly directed towards Sempra Texas.
The growth we see there is supported by robust economic activity, increasing electricity demand, and the need to modernize and expand the electricity network across the state. I'd also note that we're considering our improving confidence in Oncor's $10 billion of incremental capital opportunities. We see Texas continuing to become an even larger part of our business, with a goal for it to comprise over 60% of Sempra's total rate base in 2030. Taken together, this investment outlook supports our confidence in Sempra's long-term growth. With one of the highest projected long-term EPS growth rates in the sector, we think Sempra continues to offer investors a compelling mix of current yield, durable earnings growth, and long-term capital appreciation. Let's open it up for your questions.
Thank you. This concludes the prepared remarks. We will now open the line to take your questions. Please limit your questions to one question and one follow-up. If you would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star one one on your telephone keypad. Please make sure your mute function is turned off. We will pause for just a moment to allow everyone to signal for questions. Our first question will come from Shahriar Pourreza from Wells Fargo. Your line is open.
Hi. Good morning, team. It's actually Constantine here for Shar. Really appreciate the time today.
Hey, Constantine.
Hey, Josh. Thanks. Starting off in Texas, the obvious question around the data center pause, rhetoric or not, do you see a threat of pushing for generation or even behind the meter solutions instead of transmission build? How does that impact timelines here, especially as you highlight the Batch Zero opportunities going into next year?
Thanks, Constantine. I'll address the data center focus first. I think one of the key things that we wanted to approach this call was to send the message that our long-term view at Oncor has improved over the last quarter. We continue to think there's a great opportunity here for our base capital plan to move forward, as well as upside capital. One of the key points in our prepared materials was anything related to the batch process would really be upside beyond that. One of the things I think that we're focused on in this environment is that public policy and a lot of the recent discussions have been focused on protecting Texas families from the new costs associated with expanding the grid to meet new load customers, as you indicated, data centers.
I think in this area, the Governor and the PUC both have shown a lot of leadership, and I think that is important. I would also note, Constantine, that at Sempra, we are signatories to the President's Ratepayer Protection Pledge. Together with Oncor, we are supportive of the framework that the PUCT is now moving forward with, and I think this is very important relative to your question. That is to ensure that data centers, number 1, cover the full cost of interconnection, and number 2, lower residential bills by having a portion of their tariff allocated to ratepayer subsidies. You are seeing this model play out across other jurisdictions as well. Overall, I think broader stakeholder involvement in the process sets the foundation for a more durable framework. I think this is a very important point for our stakeholders.
The process that is underway now in Austin, we are receiving more input and more inclusivity to the process. That is designed to create a more durable framework for participants in the market, like Oncor, to deploy capital. Constantine, when you put that together with the improving regulatory compact that we received through the UTM legislation last year and the improvements in the recent base rate review, that is obviously key drivers in the improved financial performance you are seeing at Oncor.
Excellent. Thanks for that. Maybe just a quick follow-up there. The quick return to normal kind of helped the Oncor CapEx update at year-end. Any way to think about that upside to the upside kind of converting closer to plan by that timeframe?
I think one of the things that we are kind of sending the message here is that there is a lot of flexibility in that base capital plan around how Don Clevenger and Allen Nye move capital around. Obviously, there has been some positive steps to firm up the $10 billion of incremental opportunity. I think that investors can take away from this call that we expect that the roll-forward capital plan at Oncor will go up, and I would expect that there is a fair amount of flexibility about how they sequence projects. I think the near-term focus of the team and Allen Nye were to make sure that we are really engaged in the ongoing process, particularly at the PUCT.
I think that will also be helpful to them firming up their plans this fall. We expect to come back to you on the fourth quarter call with a robust discussion around Oncor. Clearly, Karen Sedgwick made this point, this is becoming a much bigger part of Sempra. I think as you think about the KKR & Co. Inc. transaction, Constantine, putting that in context, it's all about our pivot to become a pure play utility and allocate capital to the markets where we think investors will assign the highest value, and certainly, we believe that's Texas. The story in Texas continues to get better. Some of these near-term issues need to be dealt with, and that's obviously going to be a priority for Allen Nye's team.
Excellent. Maybe just a quick housekeeping item on the earlier announced ECA delays. How are you thinking about some of the near-term offsets going into year-end? Any potential re-proof of the SIP transaction or are those two separate tracks?
Yeah. Thank you for that question. We put out a press release just over a week ago that gave kind of a comprehensive update on Sempra Infrastructure. I think there's a couple key points here to your question. First off, the two very large projects at Port Arthur, both Phase 1 and Phase 2, are on time and on budget. They're proceeding very well. Obviously, anytime you have a commissioning process like you have at ECA, there's a fair amount of complexity to that. I continue to feel quite constructive about the work that's underway to commission that project. Justin, you recall Justin Bird is the CEO of Sempra Infrastructure, Constantine. It would be helpful if you provide some additional details about
What you found in the root cause analysis and how you think about the timeline going forward this fall?
Yeah. As you recall, after we exported the first cargo out of ECA in July, we shut down the plant for planned maintenance and inspections. During that time, we discovered damage to equipment connected to the plant's mixed refrigerant compressors. We are working with our EPC contractor and the OEM, the original equipment vendor, on the root cause and our mediation plan. Given where we are, we expect the project to reach substantial completion in the fourth quarter of 2026, with sales under our long-term, sale and purchase agreements commencing shortly thereafter. We don't anticipate additional delay after that at ECA. Again, the substantial completion of ECA is not a condition precedent under the SI transaction.
Really appreciate that. Abundantly clear. Thank you very much.
Thanks a lot, Constantine.
Thank you. As a reminder, we do ask that you please limit yourselves to one question and one follow-up. Our next question will come from Steve Fleishman from Wolfe. Your line is open.
Good afternoon, Steve.
Yeah. Hi, Jeff and team. Maybe you could just talk to some of the recent political commentary on the 765 kV approval process and thoughts on any risk of that changing or just where do you think that goes from here? Any color on that?
Sure. Let me make a couple points here. I mentioned this to Constantine's question, Steve, but we continue to think the long-term picture at Oncor is intact and improving. Obviously, to your point, there's been some important recent developments, I'll make two quick points here. I think the theme is we remain constructive. The most important thing that we'll be hearing out of Austin is to make sure that we're spending enough time to fully integrate the voices and concerns from landowners. We want to make sure, obviously, that process is inclusive. That's been a clear directive from the governor's office, I think that's also something that the PUCT is working hard to ensure happens.
The key theme, I think you're hearing people focus on, Steve, is if it takes a little bit more time in the process stage to get to what we think is a durable framework that allows us to invest capital with more certainty, we think this process will be time well spent. I would also note at recent Senate hearings, it's very clear that there's two priorities being focused on. One is protecting landowner interests, and secondly, also making sure that Texas has the infrastructure needed to support its continued growth. I think you saw some of that echoed by the lieutenant governor, and obviously we want to make sure that the PUCT process, and Allen and his team will participate.
I know it's been a very high focus for Allen, is making sure that we're being inclusive of all the different voices that have a stake in the outcome here. If I could, Allen, maybe you could provide a little bit more commentary on where you see the 765 process going from here.
Yeah, sure Jeff. Thanks, Steve. I think the way we're thinking about the 765 issue right now is obviously there was a hearing on the 29th. It lasted 15 hours, followed by the statements issued by Chairman Schwertner and Lieutenant Governor Patrick. As Jeff said, overall, there's kind of two key themes that we're seeing. One, I think state leaders thoughtfully and appropriately responding to the landowner concerns. Two, I believe clear affirmation that Texas needs a reliable grid and more investment. That's a balance that we've been working hard on to strike across all four of our Permian import projects. Just to give you some examples, we mailed notice to over 12,000 landowners, more than required by the PUC rules. We mailed notice to over 1,000 elected officials. We filed 529 unique routes.
We added 110 link segments in direct response to public feedback. We had 16 days of hearings. At this point, the SOAH, State Office of Administrative Hearings, judges have issued PFDs in three of our four dockets. We expect the fourth to come sometime in mid-August. Those proposed orders now go to the PUC. The PUC can accept them, they can deny them, they can modify them, or they can request more evidence. We're hopeful that given the significant reliability needs in the Permian, the PUC can reach a timely resolution of those dockets. Whatever they decide, we're committed to, and we look forward to working collaboratively with our regulators, the impacted landowners, obviously our state officials, to advance a reliable grid that meets the needs of Texas and our customers while protecting landowner rights. As Jeff said, we remain constructive.
Okay, one follow-up, or I guess an unrelated follow-up. Just any sense on how things are developing on the California wildfire liability legislation and related, obviously, issues and just your confidence on something constructive getting done there?
Yeah, thanks for asking that question, Steve. I think one of the things that really resonates with me is the central focus for policymakers in the state, I think, are focused on the right thing. The key theme here is livability. I think people recognize when you think about the white paper from the utilities, the feedback from the CPUC, the report that was provided by the earthquake authority. I think it really recognizes, Steve, that the status quo doesn't work. If we're going to get at this issue of livability, you've got to be willing to address a larger ecosystem of related considerations. I'll offer a few to you.
One of which is, there's a big focus in this legislative session on ensuring that housing is more accessible and more affordable, that we take steps to create a more vibrant insurance marketplace, that there are steps taken and active considerations to put new safeguards in place to mitigate risk to California families. Kind of addressing that entire ecosystem, I think there's a lot of focus on making sure that providers of utility services remain financially strong. The focus, Steve, here needs to be on good public policy for the state of California and getting at the heart of the livability issue.
If you look at some of the reports that have come out from both Moody's and S&P, they clearly are focused on making sure that some type of legislation comes out that avoids utilities moving to a higher rate environment and continues to allow California to be economically competitive. I would conclude by saying, I think Governor Newsom and the leadership of both houses deserve a ton of credit. They're very much actively working on this issue. This is clearly, Steve, not an easy task, I continue to believe that the right people are focused on the right set of issues, I continue to believe that we'll see solid progress during this legislative session. I'll stop there and see if you want to ask additional questions.
No, I appreciate that. I asked my two, I'll let someone else. Thank you.
Okay. Thanks, Steve.
Thank you. Our next question will come from David Arcaro from Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.
Good afternoon, David.
Hey there. Thank you so much. Let me see. One thing I wanted to get a little bit of elaboration on was your large load pipeline in ERCOT. Let me see. I guess as I'm just thinking about, you've updated the overall interconnection queue here to 298 gigawatts at Oncor. I think last quarter you had mentioned 127 gigawatts of advanced pipeline, and now you've got the, obviously drilling down further into the Batch Zero at 44 gigawatts. I guess I'm just looking for a little bit of help to understand the relationship there. Is there still a very big advanced pipeline of realistic data centers? When could those come in, and how do you kind of frame that up in the context of Batch Zero?
Thank you for the question. I'll make a couple comments and pass it to Allen. The way I would think about it is, all across the U.S., it doesn't matter whether you're in PJM or you're in the CAISO or you're in ERCOT, we as a nation are struggling with ways to address issues around being short or net short dispatchable generation. We're addressing ways that we can see large load customers come onto the system and ways that we can meet that growth and make sure that we can allocate costs to protect the residential consumer. Frame this, David, as a starting point as a national issue. What I think is exciting is there is a clear signal that Texas is open for business.
One of the things that there's strong alignment on across the legislature and executive branch is they want to continue to advance the Texas miracle, that comes back to the Batch Process that's being led by ERCOT. Think about a situation where you've got close to 500 GW of generation on the sideline waiting to come on the system, and similarly, over 400 GW of large load customers. That Batch Process is intended to sequence generation with large loads. Over time, it will be a sequencing effect that's intended to balance what we think is going to be remarkable load growth. Here's the issue. Getting the process right is really important. It's complex, you've seen a lot of different voices participate in the process. I think the long-term story for Oncor will continue to get better.
This state is focused on the right issues, I heard someone, I had a conversation recently with the CEO of the U.S. Chamber, who made a comment, David, that really resonated with me, is you may not be able to solve all the problems in this country with higher economic growth, you can't solve any problems without it. I think Texas recognizes that, I think there's a lot of goodwill being spent making sure that we have the right framework to allow folks to invest the capital needed to meet the needs of stakeholders. If you could, Allen, you mind walking through kind of where you're at with your queue and how you see it unfolding?
Yeah, sure, Jeff. Thanks, David. I think you got the numbers right. I mean, we got 44 GW in our service territory that's presently in the Batch Zero Process. You referenced the 127.5 from the last call. The relationship between those two numbers, the 127.5 was what we had in our RTP submission versus the 44 in the Batch Zero. The delta there is that the Batch Zero rules were finalized in June. They're a different set of rules than the RTP submission rules. Batch required things like finalization of studies, posting financial security of $50,000 a MW, attestations of site control and contracting resources, things like that. That's the difference between the 127.5 and the 44. Regarding your question about, is there a lot still out there? Obviously, you also referenced the 298 total overall queue. I think we were at 283 last time.
I will direct you to, I think in our earnings release, we talked about some of our growth numbers. The answer to your question is yes. Is there more out there? Total active requests year to date for transmission TOIs is up 15%. LC&I, minus data centers, new requests are up 8% quarter-over-same-quarter last year, and active are up about 22% second quarter of 2026 versus second quarter of 2025. We continue to have really strong growth, really strong interest, and yes, there is more out there.
Excellent. Yeah, thanks for all that color. Appreciate that. Relatedly, I just wanted to clarify the additional Batch Zero capital investment opportunities in terms of when you could frame that up and quantify it. Is that something that comes after April of 2027 next year? Is it something we could get mid-year in terms of the timing just as ERCOT goes through the batch process?
Thank you, David. I think you've got the timeline correct. We obviously will look to update Sempra's roll-forward five-year plan as well as Oncor's on the Q4 call. I think in my prepared remarks, we talked about the fact that we think that visibility into additional capital that we require to support the batch process as it moves forward will be information we get after that. I think we'll have to revisit how we can continue to be as transparent as possible following Q4, we're excited to bring those additional numbers to you at the right time.
Okay, great. Makes sense. Thank you.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Nicholas Campanella from Barclays. Your line is open.
Hi, Nick.
Hey, good afternoon. Hey, how are you?
Good.
I just wanted to ask if we could be a little bit more clear just on the batch process, just the actual next steps. To my understanding, there's a good cause exception request of the PUCT, do you guys think that that gets acknowledged and then we just kind of keep moving along with the prior schedule, or are we kind of on pause until we get past November election? Any thoughts from Oncor, if we could see additional legislation in the next session around this too would be helpful. Thanks.
Yes. I'll make a couple comments, Allen, I'd appreciate if you do as well. I think one of the things we've made clear on this call, I know you're on top of this, Nick, is we've laid out a path here where we think we feel good about the base capital plan at Oncor. We've got improving confidence in the additional capital opportunities, certainly, we think there will be a big backlog of new capital opportunities that fall outside of both of those two first buckets. As this goes forward, we're seeing strong leadership, I think, from Greg Abbott. The PUCT has obviously taken up the issue as well, I think as it goes forward, we'll have more visibility to it in the next few months.
Allen, maybe talk about what your expectations are for the process being firmed up and whether you think there'll be potential legislation would be helpful.
Yeah, you bet. Hey, Nick. I think the way we're thinking about it is, obviously, Governor Abbott issued his letter on August 3rd, calling for the comprehensive verification and audit of all the data centers before they can interconnect. The immediate impact is, I think, exactly the way you described it. ERCOT previously was going to notify TDSPs on August 7th of the loads that could potentially be in Batch Zero, now ERCOT apparently intends to consult with the PUC on next steps and seek approval for a good cause exception related to the Batch Zero timeline and process at the August 20 PUC open meeting. We've really been focused on August 20 as being the next big event where we may learn more about what's going to go on.
The only other thing I would say is it's also our perspective that these projects that were going to make it into Batch Zero were always subject to a validation process to ensure that they met the criteria of the new rules. With the comprehensive audit moving to the front end and effectively reordering the prior process, we think it will benefit the process by allowing more participation on the front end and lead potentially to a more durable framework on the back end. That's probably what we know right now.
Yeah, I think that's a really good point, too, is the way this is being structured, it's almost like a reordering of the existing process, and I think it's designed, I think, thoughtfully by the Governor to make sure that there's more input on the front end. If we get to a more durable framework on the back end, Nick, I think that's a win for everyone in the process.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing those thoughts. Then I guess just coming back to the questions on California legislation, I know that there's been wide discussion that this is a more than utilities type problem for the state, right? Everyone has to bring something to the table. Just how do we kind of think about where you guys are drawing the line on maybe trading things like future contributions to phase 2 fund?
Sure. I'll make a couple comments here, then I'll pass it to Caroline Winn, Nick, who you know, who runs California. In my earlier remarks on today's call, I think it was really important that for Sempra and other participants in the market to frame this correctly. I think for us to see successful legislation, it really goes through making sure it's focused primarily on public policy that improves livability, right? As you think about the utility side of it, I think this is less about pushing for a quote-unquote, utility bailout bill. This is more about making sure that everyone's joined around the exercise of improving the environment for California families. I think an output from that will be there's a lot of benefit to California families when load-serving entities are financially healthy. I think that will be important.
In terms of the legislation itself, we have been active. We're working through all the various constituencies. I have been very pleased with the leadership of the state, and I really feel great about the role that Governor Newsom is playing. I think it's a little bit premature for us to front-run the process without having the text of a bill, Nick, in front of us. I think it's important not to pass judgment there, and we'll look at the totality of the bill and the benefits to the entire list of stakeholders before we weigh in on any bright lines around what we might be expecting. Caroline, I know you've done a lot of work in this area. Could you add some additional color for Nick's benefit?
Sure. Happy to. Hi, Nick. We are encouraged by not only the ongoing dialogue, but importantly, the range of solutions that are being discussed. I'm pleased with the broad recognition that California would benefit from a more durable wildfire framework. That said, I'll agree with Jeff that it's premature to assess any specific proposal until there's actual bill language for us to evaluate and a clear understanding of how it would operate as part of the broader package. Count on us to continue to engage constructively over the last three weeks of session, but we don't want to get ahead of the process. I'll just end with this, that our focus remains unchanged, that we're going to operate the system safely, we'll execute on our wildfire mitigation plans, maintain financial discipline, and invest in the system in a way that supports customers, communities, and long-term shareholder value.
We'll evaluate any legislation against those principles, and we'll be able to communicate our assessment at the appropriate time. Thanks.
Thanks, Caroline. Nick, I would just conclude, and I made this comment before, that a lot of people have sought us out and asked for their views on this. I think the thing I keep coming back to is, and I think I've been pretty clear, I'm constructive. I actually think we're going to get some solid legislation this session, and I'm really pleased with the leadership that we're hearing from key folks. I don't want to get ahead of the process. Caroline's absolutely right. There's a long way to go. We want to see the text language. It's a very complicated exercise. The reason I'm constructive is I think it's the right thing for the state. I think it's the right thing for livability. I think it's the right thing to improve affordability.
When you line it up around what's right from a public policy standpoint, it becomes just a good old-fashioned leadership challenge, I'm pleased with the people that are stepping forward to address it in Sacramento.
Thank you. Our next question will come from Julien Dumoulin-Smith from Jefferies. Your line is open.
Hi, Julien.
Hi. Sorry to disappoint, good afternoon. It's Paul Zimbardo on for Julien today.
No problem.
Thank you for taking the time today.
No worries. Thank you.
Of course. Thank you very much. I know a lot has been asked already. Just on the good old transmission side of the business, kind of the earlier stage projects, any view on timing changes on some of these Certificate of Convenience and Necessity approvals just related to what's going on? Or would you describe things as on track?
Yeah, I would describe things as on track, and I'll pass it to Allen. Let me just make a quick point you may find helpful, Paul. Oncor's base capital plan is $47.5 billion. They only have about $5 billion of that base capital program that's focused on 765 import pathways related to the Permian. I think Allen and Don have enough flexibility in their capital program to adjust the timing and sequencing of those projects if they need to. We continue to feel good about Oncor's five-year capital plan and look forward to coming back in Q4 to update you on how we might grow that going forward. Allen, on the specific issue of where you're at with CCNs, you feel like things are on track and you want to add additional color for Paul's benefit?
Yeah, I don't have much to add. I'll simply say, I take Chairman Schwertner and Lieutenant Governor Patrick's statements very seriously. We intend to work with landowners and work through this process. Just right now, it's so recent, I don't have really a very good understanding or belief about what's going to happen or what timelines could change or not.
Okay.
I think we just wait and see.
Thank you.
Okay. No, understood. One follow-up on the Batch Zero. You mentioned the 8 GW of kind of load that is already in process. If you could elaborate that a little bit, does that require capital to go? Is that kind of in that upside to the upside capital bucket as well? If you could help on that 8 GW scope. Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah. I think when you think about that 44 GW that we have identified in today's call, the reason we called out that 8 GW is that is projects that have moved forward and they are already interconnected. All it is pointing to is the customers that have been interconnected, their overall utilization is not at the 8 GW level. They are already connected, and their load is expected to increase over time to 8 GW. The reason that is important, and I think we called this out, it shows that that load growth is not just a prospective opportunity. It is something that is coming onto Oncor's system currently.
Okay. No, that is helpful. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Paul Zimbardo. Thank you for joining.
Thank you. Our next question will come from Richard Sunderland from Truist Securities. Your line is open.
Hi, Richard.
Hi. Good morning. Thanks for the time today. Sticking with some of these Oncor upside CapEx themes, you're very clear on the Batch Zero sequencing relative to your 4Q update. Can you speak to other opportunities that could fold into the upside bucket on that 4Q update? Presumably, there's things like the SRP that would remain in there, but just trying to think about other things that might translate into upside that aren't currently being discussed right now.
Thank you for the question, Richard. We outlined how we thought about the upside opportunity for Oncor on our Q4 call. That might be something that you go back and reference. In our current materials, if you look at slide four, we're talking about the $47.5 billion base capital plan that we announced four months ago, you can see that we've articulated the three buckets that form what we've referred to as the $10 billion incremental capital opportunity. That's $4 billion associated with these recently endorsed DFW projects, $3 billion associated with non-Permian 765 projects. Then you referenced it correctly, they do expect to make a system resiliency plan filing next year. They've earmarked about $3 billion of capital for that. That number can move around a little bit.
To your point, there may be other opportunities that come to us before we announce this next February. I think we're quite constructive on those two buckets together, the $47.5 billion and also this $10 billion opportunity. I think, Richard, one of the key things we've taken a lot of questions on since our last call was how this batch process fit into our current plan. I think it's been a real clear takeaway for us that the batch process is clearly an incremental opportunity beyond the $47.5 billion and beyond the $10 billion of upside capital they have. The challenge will be, as that process unfolds, we don't think we'll have a lot more definition on the batch-related capital until later in 2027.
Got it. Thanks for running through all that. I'll just ask the question in a different way. Is the $10 billion that you currently call out as Oncor upside, kind of what you're working with, and then some of that presumably translates into base on that February update, and then the remainder stays as upside? Or do you see other opportunities and programs that may backfill whatever moves into base?
I appreciate the clarification. Let me go back a little bit because I think that the past is prologue here. If you go back and look where we were in February of 2025, at the 100% level, Oncor had a $36 billion capital program, and they had about $12 billion of upside opportunities. Through the year, they continued to work on that pipeline, and by the time they got to February this year, they took the $36 billion and the $12 billion and announced a brand-new base capital plan of $47.5 billion. Then, Richard, they re-upped that opportunity bucket back to $10 billion. I think that is probably something like that is what we expect.
We expect to see all or portions of the $10 billion get rolled into the $47.5 billion, and I'm quite confident that Don and Alan will come back with a very large upside bucket beyond that. That's what we'll cover on the February call.
All very clear. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Appreciate you joining.
Thank you. Our next question will come from Anthony Crowdell from Mizuho. Your line is open.
Hey, good afternoon.
Hi, Anthony.
Noon, team.
Hey, Anthony.
Just I guess one high-level question on Texas and then one on the balance sheet. Steve had talked earlier about the 765 maybe delays and some of the news we're hearing there. We're talking about delays in the Batch Zero process. Is it the same issue there of nimbyism? Just, it seems the timing of both of them happening or the news we've seen in the last three weeks have just reached a peak. Is it the same issue that's going on in ERCOT?
Look, I think I look at it, Anthony, like that all across this country, there's a variety of elections taking place in November. There's a big focus on affordability. It doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an independent, we're looking for ways to release pressure on American families, and I think Texas is not immune from that. Obviously, there's a process going forward where we're doing things at scale, Anthony, that have never been done before. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen in the state of Texas. I think there's an uncommon electricity demand growth opportunity, and I think there's an uncommon associated capital opportunity. I think a lot of people of goodwill are at the table in Austin trying to make sure that we've got a right process. I think Allen has struck the right tone.
What we want to do is make sure that we're supportive of the process. We're there to make sure that we can address some of the needs of stakeholders. If the outcome is it takes a little bit longer to make the process better for everybody, and we end up with a durable framework, I think it's great for the state of Texas and making the long run. We continue to have an increasingly bullish view for Oncor.
Great. If I could pivot. Slide 11, you talk about Moody's, your Baa2 with a negative outlook. If my memory serves me correct, they went to a negative outlook back in January of 2025. Just curious if there's any timing on when they revisit it or any data points they're looking for to change that negative outlook.
Yeah. Thank you for that question. Obviously, the key issue for us at this point is working very closely with Justin and his team to close the KKR transaction, which is on schedule for this quarter. Karen, perhaps you could talk about the value of that transaction also from a credit standpoint.
Sure. Thanks, Anthony. Yeah. The priority right now is getting the KKR transaction closed. You'll recall, as part of our strategy, we work closely with the rating agencies to improve the strength of our balance sheet. It's going to help us improve our funding capacity and really help us pay down some parent debt. With the closing of the SI transaction later this quarter, we expect to deconsolidate over $9 billion worth of debt off the balance sheet and see an improvement in those outlooks. Specifically, you asked about Moody's. For them, it's not only closing the SI transaction and deconsolidating, but they also are tracking the progress at the SI projects. In particular, they look for certain milestones. One of the ones they've chosen that's important is the pipe installation, which again, Justin mentioned we're on track there.
We expect that to be where they want it close to the end of the year. I think it'll probably be early next year before they make the changes, but to be clear, we are meeting with the rating agencies regularly. We're on track for what they expect us to do, and we're excited about being able to shore up the balance sheet. On top of that, Jeff and I have talked about having an opportunity to really improve the balance sheet going forward and having cushion there of at least 50-150 basis points on average above those thresholds, with those thresholds improving. Excited where this will take us.
I think that's a great point. I think what you're seeing us do here, Anthony Crowdell, is we've got an improving equity story. We're posting strong financial results both for the quarter and for the first half of the year, and we have definitely improving credit story and balance sheet story. We're looking to pull all that together in the second half of the year and obviously meet the expectations of our stakeholders on the credit side.
Great. Thanks for taking my questions.
Thank you.
Thank you. We do have time for one last question today. Our last question will come from Carly Davenport from Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.
Hi, Carly.
Hey, Jeff. How are you? Thanks for taking the questions. I just had one follow-up on some of the commentary earlier on the call on California. Just as you think about the potential outcomes here, if you don't see any legislation move forward this session, is there anything that you could see changing about your GRC filing or any other parts of your investment strategy in California that we should be keeping in mind?
Yeah. Thank you, Carly. I would go back to some of the information we released in February. You recall that at the enterprise level, we're growing our utility platform at the enterprise level at about 11% annually. If you folded in the additional upside at Oncor, that number would be closer to 13%. As part of that portfolio of growth, California is now growing a little bit slower. We're growing rate base in California at about 5%, and I think we've got the right approach there in terms of making sure we meet the needs of the state in terms of safety and reliability, and there's a nod to affordability with that. I know this is a question that's come up both for Edison and PG&E, who are in a little bit different situation than us. I think we've got the opportunity to continue to execute our current capital plan.
In terms of the legislation itself, I don't want to start speaking to hypotheticals without having the text in front of us. I remain constructive on legislation in the state. I think we've got our capital plan dialed in at about the appropriate level for the future.
Got it. Okay. Very clear. Thank you very much for the color.
Thank you for joining the call, Carly.
Thank you. That concludes today's question and answer session. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference back to Jeff Martin for any additional closing remarks.
Well, let me conclude by thanking everyone for joining today. We certainly appreciate you making the time to join. Before signing off, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Karen on her appointment as the incoming CEO of the Southern California Gas Company, and also Justin for his appointment as Sempra's incoming Chief Financial Officer. These are important rotational moves that reflect Sempra's long tradition of leadership development across our organization, and we expect these rotations to become effective around the close of the S&P Partners transaction, which we're targeting later this quarter. Finally, we hope to see many of you next week at the upcoming Citi conference in Las Vegas. If there are any other follow-up items, please reach out to our IR team with your questions. This concludes our call.
Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
