Spire has completed the sale of its natural gas storage businesses in Wyoming and Oklahoma to I Squared Capital for $650 million ($600 million cash at closing plus a $50 million deferred payment in fiscal 2027). The assets sold include two storage fields in southwest Wyoming (up to 55 Bcf working gas) and one field in north Oklahoma (up to 17 Bcf) and will become part of Bear River Midstream, whose CEO will be Scott Smith. The proceeds are intended to relieve the balance sheet — Spire’s total debt is about $8 billion — and to help finance the acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas’s Tennessee business. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Spire reported adjusted EPS of $3.76 for Q2 FY26 (+18.6%) despite weather-related declines in Missouri. The company closed the $2.48 billion acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas Tennessee and announced plans to sell Spire Marketing, Spire Storage and Spire Mississippi to focus the portfolio entirely on regulated gas supply and FERC-regulated pipelines. Spire confirmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance for 2026 of $3.90–4.10 and for 2027 of $5.40–5.60, unveiled a 10-year investment plan of $11.2 billion and raised the 2026 dividend by 5.1% to $3.30. The realignment is intended to reduce earnings volatility, expand the rate base and support long-term, predictable growth. » Plus sur de.investing.com
