Sempra (SRE) is back in focus after its latest earnings topped analyst expectations, with Q3 2025 revenue of US$3.2b and adjusted EPS of US$1.11, even as the stock trails its sector.

The share price, now at US$87.36, has slipped over the last quarter with a 6.79% 90 day share price return, even as the 1 year total shareholder return of 10.05% signals steadier long term momentum supported by dividends.

So with earnings ahead of expectations, a 1 year total return of 10.05% and the share price sitting below analyst targets, is Sempra offering a reasonable entry point, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 12.3% Undervalued

Compared with the current $87.36 share price, the most followed narrative pegs Sempra's fair value closer to $99.60, suggesting meaningful upside according to that framework.

The rollout and completion of major LNG export projects (ECA Phase 1 nearing completion, Port Arthur Phase 1 advancing, and strong commercial momentum for Phase 2) positions Sempra to benefit from sustained global demand for U.S. LNG as a transition fuel, significantly increasing future cash flows and long-term revenue generation.

Curious how a regulated utility gets to that higher fair value? The narrative leans heavily on steadier earnings growth, firmer margins, and a future earnings multiple that assumes investors keep paying up for that profile.

Result: Fair Value of $99.60 (UNDERVALUED)

However, there are still real swing factors here, including regulatory shifts in California or Texas and LNG project or policy setbacks that could undermine those fair value assumptions.

Another View: Market Multiple Sends a Different Signal

That 12.3% undervalued fair value of $99.60 sits awkwardly alongside the current P/E of 27x, which is higher than both the global Integrated Utilities industry at 19.2x and Sempra's own fair ratio of 28.8x. Is this a quality premium investors are comfortable paying, or a valuation risk?
