Wells Fargo analyst Sarah Akers maintains $Spire (SR.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $73 to $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 2024 earnings per share were reported lower than the anticipated guidance range. Despite this, the company maintains its targets for a 5%-7% earnings growth, anchored on the initial mid-point predictions for 2024. Management is optimistic about returning to the expected range by 2026, conditional on a favorable rate case outcome in Missouri.
Spire's shares have been underperforming compared to the broader utility group. This lag in performance is attributed to inconsistent execution highlighted by the company's reduction in FY24 adjusted EPS guidance during its fiscal Q3 update, following earlier lowered guidance in its core regulated Utility segment. It is expected that the situation may deteriorate further before improving, with anticipated 'muted' FY25 guidance. However, growth could be revitalized in FY26 following a rate case in Spire Missouri.

富國集團分析師Sarah Akers維持$Spire (SR.US)$持有評級，並將目標價從73美元上調至75美元。

此外，綜合報道，$Spire (SR.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
spire 2024年每股收益低於預期指導範圍。儘管如此，該公司仍然保持其2024年5%-7%收益增長目標，以初步中點預測爲基準。管理層對2026年恢復到預期範圍持樂觀態度，前提是密蘇里州的有利費率案例結果。
spire的股價與更廣泛的公共事業集團相比表現不佳。這種表現滯後被歸因於公司在財年第三季度更新期間調低FY24調整後的每股收益指引，緊隨其核心受管制的公用事業部門早前降低指引。預計在情況有望在FY25給出「低迷」的指引前進一步惡化。然而，在Spire密蘇里進行費率案例後，增長在FY26可能得以恢復。
