Summary
Sempra reported a strong first half of 2026, with earnings attributable to common shares increasing by 57% to $1.833 billion compared to $1.367 billion in the first half of 2025. This growth was driven by significant increases in equity earnings from Oncor Holdings and favorable performance in the Sempra Infrastructure segment. Sempra California also saw improved earnings, primarily due to higher income tax benefits and regulatory adjustments. Operationally, the company is progressing with its strategic initiatives, including the planned sale of a portion of its equity interest in SI Partners, expected to close in Q3 2026. This divestiture, along with the sale of Ecogas, is part of Sempra's capital recycling program. The company continues to manage its operations and investments, with substantial capital expenditures planned for property, plant, and equipment, particularly in its Sempra Infrastructure segment.
