Answer
Sempra’s reported earnings for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.71 per diluted share (GAAP).
However, the press release you provided does not include the consensus analyst estimate for Q2 2025 earnings per share. Because the analyst forecast figure is missing from the information you shared, we cannot directly state whether Sempra’s $0.71 EPS was above, in line with, or below the market’s expectations.
What we do know from the news:
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| Reported Q2 2025 EPS (GAAP) | $0.71 |
| Reported Q2 2024 EPS (GAAP) | $0.?? (the summary only gives total earnings of $713 million; EPS not provided) |
| Year‑over‑year change in EPS | The news notes earnings dropped from $713 million in Q2 2024 to $461 million in Q2 2025, indicating a decline in profitability, but the exact EPS change cannot be calculated without the prior‑year EPS figure. |
What would be needed to answer the comparison question definitively:
- Consensus analyst EPS estimate for Sempra’s Q2 2025 (usually published by data providers such as FactSet, Refinitiv, Bloomberg, or Thomson Reuters).
- The difference between the reported EPS ($0.71) and that consensus figure, expressed either as an absolute dollar amount or as a percentage variance.
If you can locate the consensus estimate (e.g., “analysts expect $0.80 EPS”) you could then evaluate:
- Beat: $0.71 > consensus
- Miss: $0.71 < consensus
- In line: $0.71 ≈ consensus
In the absence of that estimate, the safest answer is that the news article does not provide the analyst consensus, so a direct comparison cannot be made. If you have access to a financial data source that lists the consensus EPS forecast for Sempra’s Q2 2025, you can plug that number into the comparison.
