- Strategic Rationale: Expanded SWX's infrastructure footprint and diversified its earnings.
Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: Historical growth has been driven by acquisitions and organic growth in natural gas distribution and infrastructure services.
Future Projections: Analysts project continued revenue growth, driven by infrastructure investments and population growth in the Southwest. EPS growth is expected to be slower due to higher interest expenses and increased expenses.
Recent Initiatives: Focus on infrastructure upgrades and modernization, expansion of renewable natural gas initiatives, and cost management efforts.
Summary
