Jim Cramer on Sepmra: “This Company’s Long Been One of My Favorite Growth Utilities”

Sempra (NYSE:SRE) is one of the stocks mentioned during the show, as we cover everything Jim Cramer said about the market. Cramer highlighted the company’s performance during the episode, as he commented:

The last 12 months have been phenomenal for a lot of utilities. Take Sempra, which owns gas and electric utilities in Texas and California. Now, this company’s long been one of my favorite growth utilities. Remember, growth utility. But a year ago, this stock had a bit of a beat down by tariff worries, LA fires, even though the fires, by the way, had zero impact on their business.

That turned out to be a fantastic buying opportunity, as Sempra’s now run from $61 and change at its lows last April all the way to $95. We’re talking about a 50% gain plus in less than a year. Not bad for a utility. Now, Sempra’s made some big changes last fall. They announced they were selling a majority stake in their infrastructure business. That’s Mexican gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas export facilities. The plan now is to focus on their core utility business.
