### Money Play Watch $OGS+WL as the company raises its 2026 adjusted earnings outlook, reflecting continued execution of its growth strategy. ## Catalyst Analysis: Raised 2026 Earnings Expectations ONE Gas announced today that it is raising its 2026 adjusted earnings per diluted share expectations to the upper half of its previously provided guidance range, which spans $4.83 to $4.95. This upward revision follows a strong second quarter where the company reported adjusted net income of $52.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, a notable increase from $32.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
Year-to-date adjusted net income stood at $185.5 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared to $152.8 million, or $2.53 per diluted share, for the same period in 2025. The company's operating income for the second quarter rose to $82.7 million from $71.9 million in the prior year, driven by increased revenue from new rates, customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas, and line extension revenue.
These gains were partially offset by higher employee-related costs, outside services, and fleet expenses. Weather normalization mechanisms helped mitigate the impact of warmer-than-normal weather on operating income. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share, payable August 31, 2026. ## $OGS+WL Technical Analysis & Key Risk Watch Key levels for $OGS+WL (educational): R2 $53.32 · R1 $51.64 · last $50.40 · S1 $49.64 · S2 $47.80. ### Sector Ripple / Impact on Utilities As a regulated utility, ONE Gas's performance is closely tied to its ability to manage operating costs and regulatory frameworks. Investors will monitor its peers for similar trends in customer growth and rate adjustments.
