Sempra Completes $500M Ecogas Sale, Advancing Capital Recycling
SRE is trading near its 52-week low of $78.97 (11% above the low).
Summary
Sempra completed the sale of its Mexican natural gas distribution business Ecogas, generating approximately $500 million in proceeds. The divestiture is part of the company's capital recycling program, which aims to fund its $65 billion five-year capital plan focused on regulated utilities in Texas and California. The sale also reduces reliance on future common-equity issuances and supports credit quality. This follows Sempra's agreement to sell a 45% stake in Sempra Infrastructure Partners to KKR, expected to close in Q3 2026. The transaction simplifies Sempra's business model and strengthens its financial position.
