AI verdictAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $NI — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersStalledAI verdict · as of 2026-09-28

The move has stalled — likely just drifts unless something new shows up.

NiSource is at 4.6% of the 52-week range on data-center and storm-recovery worries — a regulated utility with 27% op margins.

NiSource Inc. is a US regulated natural-gas and electric utility (Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania) — a business the market usually rewards for stability, now punished on specific data-center concerns. The stock is at 4.6% of the 52-week range.

  • The economics are utility-quality: Q2 revenue grew 4.6% YoY to $1.34B at 17% operating margin, and Q1 hit 35% margin — this is a real regulated utility earning through the cycle.
  • The valuation is undemanding for the sector: 22x P/E and 12x EV/EBITDA — priced consistently with rate-cut expectations plus the specific NIPSCO data-center capex outlook.
  • Institutional flow is accumulating: Bank of America added 3.6M shares (Sept 18), Amundi holds $85M stake — real institutional-scale positioning at these depressed levels.

Q3 earnings on Nov 4 is the reset — a beat plus fresh NIPSCO data-center capex commentary restarts the story; a soft rate-case update or a fresh weather-related loss and the stock stays at these lows.

What to watch: Q3 earnings on Nov 4 — a beat plus fresh NIPSCO data-center capex commentary restarts the story; a soft rate-case update or a fresh weather-related loss and the stock stays at these lows.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
22.1How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
4.6%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
27.0%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
-5.4%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
2.9Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
9.6%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
50.8%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
1.8Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.

AI summary

NiSource Inc. (NI), a large regulated natural gas and electric utility, filed a preliminary 424B5 prospectus supplement on August 13, 2026 to offer Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2057 — a 31-year hybrid security. The notes carry a fixed interest rate through April 15, 2032, then reset every period to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a spread (with a floor equal to the initial rate). The dollar amount and exact coupon were not finalized in this preliminary filing. Junior subordinated notes rank below senior debt and count as equity-like capital for regulatory purposes — a common utility tool for maintaining credit ratings while raising long-term financing for infrastructure investment.
