National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE:NFG) shares rose 1.6% after announcing plans to spin off its upstream and gathering business (IUG) into a separate publicly traded entity.

02

Why is National Fuel Gas stock climbing today?

National Fuel Gas (NFG) stock rose 1.6% in pre-market trading after announcing a plan to split into two publicly traded companies. The spin-off, expected in late 2027, will separate its upstream business from its utility operations. NFG will retain a 19.9% stake in the new entity, which it plans to divest. The move follows a recent $2.62 billion acquisition and is seen as a value-unlocking strategy.
