Wells Fargo analyst Sarah Akers maintains $Spire (SR.US)$ with a hold rating, and maintains the target price at $75.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 69.1% and a total average return of 9.1% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Spire (SR.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Spire's FY24 outcomes were considered disappointing, as the company did not meet the EPS guidance range, previously adjusted in their Q3 announcement. However, many of the challenges it faces are seen as manageable through improved cost controls. The firm also foresees advantages from a supportive regulatory environment in Missouri. Current market prices may excessively reflect the risks associated with the company's earnings growth, and forthcoming developments in Missouri might serve as positive influences.
The company's 2024 EPS was observed to be below the expected guidance range. Nevertheless, the projected EPS growth of 5%-7% remains aligned with the original forecasts for 2024. Management anticipates returning to the target range by 2026, contingent upon favorable outcomes in the rate case in MO.
Spire's shares have underperformed compared to the broader utilities group, a situation attributed to inconsistent execution. This trend followed Spire's reduction in FY24 adjusted EPS guidance during its fiscal Q3 update, along with a decrease in guidance for its core regulated Utility segment. It is anticipated that the situation may deteriorate further before witnessing improvement, with expectations of subdued FY25 guidance until a rate case in Missouri potentially stimulates growth in FY26.

富国集团分析师Sarah Akers维持$Spire (SR.US)$持有评级，维持目标价75美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为69.1%，总平均回报率为9.1%。
此外，综合报道，$Spire (SR.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
Spire的2024财年结果被认为令人失望，因为该公司未能满足此前在第三季度公告中调整的每股收益指引区间。然而，许多面临的挑战被视为通过改善成本控制可以管理。该公司还预见到在密苏里州支持性监管环境下的优势。目前的市场价格可能过度反映了与公司盈利增长相关的风险，而密苏里州的即将发展可能会产生积极影响。
公司的2024年每股收益被观察到低于预期的指引区间。尽管如此，预计的每股收益增长5%-7%仍然与2024年的原始预测一致。管理层预计到2026年将回到目标区间，前提是密苏里州的费率案取得有利结果。
与更广泛的公用事业集团相比，Spire的股票表现不佳，这种情况归因于执行的不一致性。这一趋势发生在Spire在其2024财年第三季度更新中降低了每股收益的指引，以及其核心受监管公用事业部门的指引下调。预计该情况在出现改善之前可能会进一步恶化，并且预计到FY25的指引将保持低迷，直到密苏里州的费率案可能刺激FY26的增长。
