TXNM Energy (TXNM) just posted its second quarter 2026 results, reporting sales of US$548.55 million and net income of US$71.26 million, alongside a quarterly dividend affirmation and an ongoing US$11.5 billion takeover proposal from Blackstone.

TXNM Energy's share price has been relatively steady around US$57.92, with a modest 2.1% 1 month share price return and a small decline over the quarter. The 3 year total shareholder return of 44.6% points to stronger longer term momentum that recent earnings and the Blackstone proposal are now being viewed against.
