NISOURCE

NiSource issued $750 million of junior subordinated notes due April 15, 2057, with an initial coupon of 6.25% until April 15, 2032 and thereafter a five‑year interest reset based on the 5‑year U.S. Treasury plus 1.93% (floor 6.25%). Interest is paid semiannually on April 15 and October 15, first payment on April 15, 2027; the company may defer payments for up to 20 consecutive periods, which limits dividend distributions. The issuance increases total debt (most recently $17.4 billion) and will be used to fund investments, working capital and debt repayment; bookrunners were major investment banks. NiSource reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.16 (expectation $0.23), revenue of $1.28 billion (expectation $1.25 billion) and reaffirmed its full‑year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.02–$2.07. » More on de.investing.com

NiSource reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.16, down from $0.22 a year earlier, but reaffirmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.02–$2.07 and long-term growth targets. Agreements with Amazon and Alphabet comprise 4 GW of signed load and $7.6 billion of planned GenCo investment, which NiSource expects to deliver roughly $1.4 billion in bill reductions for NIPSCO customers starting as early as Q4 2026. The company left its five-year capital plan unchanged (including $21 billion base investment and up to $2 billion upside) and said recent Indiana regulatory actions do not alter its spending, earnings outlook or rate-case timing. NiSource expects earnings to be weighted to the second half of 2026 and identified over $40 million in cost-optimization initiatives to improve its cost structure beyond 2026. » More on finance.yahoo.com

NiSource reported adjusted EPS of $0.16 for Q2 2026, below analysts’ estimate of $0.23, while revenue of $1.28 billion topped the $1.25 billion expectation. The stock fell about 5% in premarket trading to $42.31, weighed down by higher operating and maintenance costs from severe weather and expenses related to union negotiations. Management reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.02 to $2.07 and highlighted the data-center pipeline with projects from Amazon and Alphabet as a long-term growth driver. » More on de.investing.com

Moody’s has lowered the ratings for NiSource and its subsidiaries (senior unsecured debt from Baa1 to Baa3; subsidiaries to Baa2) and placed all ratings on a negative outlook. Reasons cited include an adjusted leverage ratio of around 70%, a retained-cash-flow/adjusted-debt ratio below 3%, and execution risks for the planned deleveraging strategy. NiSource’s liabilities of about USD 8 billion are substantially higher than its market capitalization of roughly USD 4 billion; liquidity is currently supported by bank backing and an undrawn credit facility of USD 2.5 billion. A planned sale of Indianapolis Water Company is expected to generate about USD 300 million in proceeds, and larger asset disposals are not currently planned. » More on de.investing.com
