Today's Trend
Spire Inc. (NYSE: SR) is getting a modest boost from a wave of analyst estimate revisions at Zacks Research, which was broadly positive for the stock. Several forward earnings forecasts were nudged higher, including FY2027 EPS to $5.52 from $5.47, Q1 2027 to $1.65 from $1.57, Q3 2027 to $0.13 from $0.10, Q4 2026 to a smaller loss of $(1.06) from $(1.13), and Q2 2028 to $3.89 from $3.77. These upward revisions suggest improving long-term earnings expectations for the utility.
There was also one negative update: Zacks cut its Q3 2026 EPS estimate to $(0.20) from $(0.13), and trimmed Q2 2027 EPS to $4.16 from $4.29 and Q3 2028 EPS to $0.36 from $0.42. However, the overall tone of the research notes was still constructive, since more estimates were raised than lowered.
- Zacks Research raised multiple future earnings estimates for Spire, including FY2027, Q1 2027, Q3 2027, and Q4 2026, signaling improved longer-term profit expectations.
- The revisions were mixed across different periods, with some later-quarter estimates increased while others were only slightly reduced.
- Zacks lowered its Q3 2026 EPS forecast and trimmed a few other quarters, indicating near-term earnings may be softer than previously expected.
