Sempra (ISIN US8168511090) is facing a lower analyst target ahead of its next earnings report. BMO Capital cut its target from USD 99 to USD 97 on October 22, 2026, according to MarketScreener.
Second-quarter earnings set the base
Sempra's latest reported quarter showed higher earnings but slightly lower revenue. In the second quarter of 2026, GAAP earnings reached USD 796 million, up from USD 461 million in the second quarter of 2025, while diluted GAAP earnings per share rose to USD 1.21 from USD 0.71, according to Sempra.
Adjusted earnings also increased to USD 762 million from USD 583 million, and adjusted earnings per share rose to USD 1.16 from USD 0.89. Revenue was USD 2.997 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 3.000 billion a year earlier. The result gives the October target changes a stronger earnings backdrop, although the revenue comparison was nearly flat.
Three events frame the stock
Sempra's recent chronology starts with its USD 0.8 million tonnes per annum liquefied natural gas agreement with Petrobras announced on September 14, 2026, as reported by Sempra. The company then reported USD 796 million of second-quarter GAAP earnings on August 6, 2026. The latest event was BMO's target reduction to USD 97 from USD 99 on October 22, 2026.
What comes next for earnings?
Sempra plans to publish third-quarter 2026 results before the US market opens on November 5, 2026, followed by a conference call at 12:00 p.m. ET, according to Sempra. For investors, the key comparison will be whether earnings growth continues while revenue remains broadly stable.
