NJR beats Q3 estimates as EPS tops consensus by 65%
New Jersey Resources reported Q3 fiscal 2026 EPS of $0.11, beating the $0.0667 consensus by 65 percent, on revenue of $349.2 million.
The Wall, New Jersey-based natural gas utility delivered revenue $4.1 million above the $345.1 million analyst estimate, a 1.2 percent beat. The company has not yet disclosed segment-level results or updated full-year guidance.
The EPS beat of $0.0433 per share marks one of the widest margins for NJR in recent quarters, reflecting stronger-than-expected performance in its natural gas distribution operations. The company's regulated utility business serves customers across New Jersey, and the results suggest resilient demand through the summer cooling season.
NJR's earnings come as natural gas utilities face a mixed demand environment, with warmer-than-normal temperatures in parts of the Northeast reducing heating demand during the quarter. The company's diversified portfolio, which also includes clean energy ventures and midstream assets, has helped cushion the impact of weather variability.
The beat positions NJR to potentially raise its full-year guidance when management hosts its earnings call. Investors will watch for updates on the company's capital expenditure program and its regulated rate base growth trajectory, which underpins long-term earnings growth for the utility sector.
