National Fuel Gas Expects 5%-7% Long-Term Rate-Base Growth After Spinoff
Bitget2026/10/16 18:56- National Fuel expects to complete a tax-free spinoff of its integrated upstream and gathering business in the second half of 2027.
- The remaining regulated business targets long-term rate-base growth of 5%-7% from approximately $5 billion, supported by pipeline expansions and modernization spending.
- Both businesses expect no incremental equity financing needs over the next five years.
- Monetizing a retained IUG stake of up to 19.9% should help lift the regulated company's credit rating two to three notches.
- IUG expects initial leverage slightly above 1x, falling below 1x within one to two years of separation through free cash flow.

Historical data shows that after this index has exceeded the 9.5 threshold 15 times, the S&P 500 has seen an average three-month gain of 4.6% with a success rate of 80%. However, Goldman Sachs traders warn that forced liquidations have not yet fully cleared, and the market is still searching for a bottom, but opportunities on the other side are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
