NiSource Inc. (US65473P1057) closed at USD 40.52 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, down 1.5 percent from the prior close. The session low of USD 40.04 set a new 52-week low, giving the stock a clear technical pressure point.

Stock pressure meets weaker momentum

The September 22 session covered USD 40.04 to USD 41.16, with volume of 3,058,091 shares. Market capitalization stood at USD 19.14 billion, while the 50-day and 200-day moving averages were USD 42.80 and USD 45.59, respectively.

Barchart reported on September 23, 2026, that NiSource shares were 19 percent below the 52-week high of USD 49.21 reached on June 29, 2026. The stock had declined 16.3 percent over three months and 4.5 percent in 2026, compared with a 5.1 percent year-to-date decline for the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund.

Quarterly revenue beats estimates

NiSource reported earnings of USD 0.16 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, matching the consensus estimate of USD 0.16, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was USD 1.34 billion, exceeding the USD 1.15 billion consensus estimate by USD 0.19 billion, while prior-year EPS was USD 0.22.

The company maintained fiscal-year 2026 guidance of USD 2.020 to USD 2.070 in EPS. That range is materially different from the second-quarter result because the utility's annual outlook includes seasonal earnings patterns and the full-year operating plan.

Analyst targets remain above market

MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that NiSource carried an average rating of Moderate Buy and a consensus target price of USD 49.64. The target stood USD 9.12 above the September 22 closing price, while the same report cited a current fiscal-year consensus of USD 2.05 EPS.

The analyst record is mixed rather than uniformly positive. Barclays reduced its target from USD 51.00 to USD 45.00 on August 7, 2026, while BMO Capital Markets cut its target from USD 51.00 to USD 49.00 on July 17, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The gap between the USD 40.52 close and the USD 49.64 consensus target is therefore paired with recent target reductions.

Dividend date adds a cash checkpoint

NiSource declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.30 per share on August 11, 2026, payable on November 20, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 30, 2026, according to Barchart. The annualized dividend is USD 1.20, and the company has increased its dividend for 14 consecutive years.

NiSource stock closes near yearly low

NiSource stock closed at USD 40.52 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, after reaching USD 40.04 during the session. The combination of a new 52-week low, a USD 1.34 billion quarterly revenue figure and fiscal-year 2026 EPS guidance of USD 2.020 to USD 2.070 defines the current market picture.
