Southwest Gas Q2 2026 results reinforce Great Basin expansion and 2026 guidance

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Regulatory progress (CA rate-case components) plus strong inflows for the Great Basin project (BPAs and EIIs) support higher margin potential and clearer earnings trajectory. The reaffirmed 2026 guidance reduces execution risk, while capex and rate-base expansion imply more predictable, regulated cash flow—positive for multiple expansion potential if execution remains on track.
