In recent market news, Atmos Energy's (NYSE:ATO) profits have raised some concerns on the quality front. However, analysts are generally bullish about Atmos's revenue potential. The company has declared its regular quarterly dividend, with Q2 results demonstrating solid financial performance. As Atmos prepares to release more Q2 earnings data, it continues to be seen as a top dividend and momentum stock.
At the same time, Atmos has reported earnings growth and raised its fiscal 2025 guidance. Many believe Atmos to be a leading choice among profitable utility stocks, defensive stocks in periods of market volatility, and among utilities with low PE ratios. A hypothetical $1000 investment in Atmos a decade ago would have significantly increased in value, demonstrating impressive long-term performance.
Though Mizuho has lowered Atmos's rating due to its premium compared to other utilities, Wolfe Research has initiated its coverage with a Peer Perform recommendation. Financial figures suggest that Atmos's Q1 2025 earnings may surpass expectations. Discounts on the stock might not be expected as the company's valuation reflects its growth plans. Finally, BlackRock Inc. has cut its stake in Atmos Energy, possibly influenced by political pressures affecting the energy sector.
