Traders can update models for Sempra’s near-term earnings trajectory using the reported Q2 numbers and the disclosed regulatory and transaction timelines.

Analysis
Sempra reported materially higher second-quarter earnings. GAAP earnings were $796 million or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $461 million or $0.71 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings were $762 million or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to $583 million or $0.89 per diluted share. For the six months ended June 30, GAAP earnings were $1,833 million and adjusted earnings were $1,753 million, compared with $1,367 million and $1,525 million, respectively, in 2025.
The release identifies several items affecting the reconciliation between GAAP and adjusted earnings. In the second quarter, these included a 71 million impact from foreign currency and inflation on monetary positions in Mexico and associated undesignated derivatives, $(82) million of net unrealized gains on derivatives, $(3) million of net unrealized gains on interest-rate swaps related to the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project, and $(20) million of tax items related to assets held for sale. These items remain important for assessing the difference between reported and adjusted results.
Utility investment and regulatory activity were central to the update. Sempra said its businesses invested capital expenditures of over $6 billion in the first half of 2026, within an approximately $65 billion five-year 2026-2030 capital plan. The company stated that 95% of the plan is allocated to Texas and California utilities. In Texas, Oncor’s new base rates became effective June 1, while the approved surcharge took effect August 1. ERCOT’s 91 GW all-time peak load and its endorsed transmission projects underscore the investment opportunity described by the company.
California regulatory developments included the filing of SDGE’s and SoCalGas’ 2028 General Rate Case applications and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval of SDGE’s TO6 settlement. The settlement included an authorized base return on equity of approximately 10.28%. Sempra also cited over $160 million of reliability-driven SDGE projects in the California Independent System Operator’s 2025–2026 Transmission Plan.
Sempra updated its full-year 2026 GAAP EPS guidance range to $5.02 to $5.55, reflecting actual results through the second quarter. It affirmed its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.80 to $5.30, its full-year 2027 EPS guidance range of $5.10 to $5.70, and its 7% to 9% projected long-term EPS growth rate. The pending sale of a 45% equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners and the planned Ecogas México sale are described as capital-recycling initiatives intended to simplify the strategy, strengthen the financial position and support long-term utility growth.
Management, verbatim
Across our management team, there is a consistent emphasis on execution, and our progress through the first half of the year is reflected in strong financial performance.

AlphaAI analysis generated from the company’s SEC earnings filing (Form 8-K Item 2.02, or Form 6-K for a foreign private issuer). Every figure was cross-checked against the filing text; consensus estimates, price targets and share-price reactions are not shown because they are not in the filing. AI-generated research, not investment advice.
Background
This is an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) attaching Sempra’s Q2 2026 results release, including GAAP-to-adjusted reconciliation and utility/regulatory updates.
Ticker impact
Sempra reported Q2 2026 GAAP earnings of $796 million ($1.21/share) and adjusted EPS of $1.16, plus detailed regulatory and FX impacts.
Near-term bias positive as the print shows stronger profitability, though investors may scrutinize the size of regulatory and derivative-related adjustments.
The filing provides fresh quarterly results and reconciliations, and also updates on rate-case filings, FERC approval, and capital recycling timelines that can influence expectations for utility cash flows.
Market effects
Reinforces the US regulated utility growth narrative via Texas base-rate effectiveness, ERCOT demand growth, and California rate-case momentum.
Supports expectations for capital spending and regulatory outcomes in Texas and California utility markets.
Limited direct global impact; Mexico transaction progress and FX/derivative disclosures may matter for cross-border risk sentiment.
Counterpoint
Adjusted earnings strength may be partially offset by volatility from derivatives and regulatory disallowances, so the quality of earnings could be questioned.
