What the filing says
National Fuel Gas Company completed acquisition of Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (CenterPoint Ohio) on October 1, 2026, for $2.62 billion total consideration: $1.42 billion cash at closing plus $1.2 billion seller promissory note at 6.50% due September 30, 2027. Acquisition doubles utility rate base, adds ~335,000 customers in Ohio, and ~200 employees. Financing included $350M private placement (4.4M shares at $79.50), $1.5B senior notes (5.10% weighted average), and $244M commercial paper.
Why this rating
Material acquisition—$2.62B is ~37% of company's $7B market cap; doubles rate base. Meaningful scale expansion into regulated Ohio market, but integration execution risk and debt leverage must be monitored closely.
