Shares of the San Diego, California-based company have fallen 16.8% from its 52-week high of $101.04. Over the past three months, the stock has declined nearly 7%, underperforming the broader Dow Jones Industrials Average's ($DOWI) 3.6% gain during the same period.

SRE stock is down 4.8% on a YTD basis, lagging behind Dow Jones' 11.1% return. Longer term, shares of the energy infrastructure company have risen 2.3% over the past 52 weeks, compared to DOWI's 17.1% increase over the same time frame.

The stock has been trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since late July.

Despite reporting better-than-expected Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.16, Sempra shares fell marginally on Aug. 6 as the company reported revenue of $2.997 billion, falling below the consensus estimate. Investors were also cautious as long-term debt increased to $31.02 billion from $28.98 billion at the end of 2025 and the company's 2026 EPS guidance of $4.80 - $5.30 had a midpoint below the consensus estimate.

In comparison, SRE stock has outperformed its rival, Vistra Corp. (VST). VST stock has dropped 7.5% YTD and 21.3% over the past 52 weeks.

Despite the stock's underperformance relative to the Dow, analysts remain strongly optimistic on SRE. The stock has a consensus rating of "Strong Buy" from 20 analysts in coverage, and the mean price target of $101.67 is a premium of nearly 21% to current levels.
