Karen L. Sedgwick, who serves as executive vice president and chief financial officer at Sempra (NYSE: SRE), reported a sale of 4,872 shares of common stock on March 9, 2026, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The disposition was carried out under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan and produced proceeds of $451,041. The sales were executed in three separate transactions with prices spanning $91.36 to $93.52. Specifically, the filing shows 987 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $91.36, 2,699 shares at a weighted average price of $92.61, and 1,186 shares at a weighted average price of $93.52.
Following these sales, Sedgwick's reported holdings include 39,028.55 shares of Sempra common stock held directly, plus 154.69 shares held indirectly through a 401(k) savings plan.
Sempra's share price was trading near $93.51 at the time of the report, reflecting a 39% gain over the prior 12 months. Market commentary included analysis from InvestingPro that characterizes the stock as appearing overvalued at current levels, citing a price-to-earnings ratio of 33.81. Additional company metrics noted in the same analysis include a streak of 15 consecutive years of dividend increases and a current dividend yield of 2.81%.
Corporate earnings for the company were mixed in the most recent quarterly report. For the fourth quarter of 2025, Sempra reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.28, which exceeded the consensus forecast of $1.23. Revenue for the quarter totaled $3.75 billion, however, falling short of the $4.25 billion that had been anticipated. The company’s results were described in the filing and subsequent commentary as arriving amid a challenging market environment.
On the analyst front, UBS adjusted its price target for Sempra to $100 from $96 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the shares. UBS highlighted a strategic shift in Sempra’s operations toward approximately 95% regulated activities and noted that this mix has produced an approximate 7% discount on consolidated earnings.
The reported insider sale, the company’s recent earnings and revenue figures, and analyst commentary together paint a mixed picture for Sempra’s near-term outlook. Investors monitoring utility and energy sector exposures, as well as financial markets that price regulated-asset businesses, will likely weigh these elements when assessing valuation and dividend characteristics.
Where this matters
- Sector impact: Utilities and energy markets may be sensitive to valuation and regulated-operations commentary.
