Sempra's $0.38B Volume and 299th Rank Highlight 1.84% Drop as Regulatory Scrutiny Intensifies

On October 9, 2025, Sempra (SRE) saw a trading volume of $0.38 billion, ranking 299th among U.S. equities. The stock closed down 1.84%, signaling investor caution amid evolving regulatory scrutiny over its renewable energy infrastructure projects.

Recent developments highlight regulatory challenges for the energy giant. California regulators are reportedly reviewing Sempra’s proposed gas storage expansion, citing potential conflicts with state climate goals. This has raised concerns about project timelines and capital allocation, particularly for the company’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Baja California. Analysts note that delays in regulatory approvals could strain short-term earnings visibility.

Meanwhile, Sempra’s partnership with a European energy firm to develop offshore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico remains under spotlight. While the collaboration aligns with long-term decarbonization targets, market participants are wary of rising supply chain costs and permitting complexities. The company has yet to disclose specific cost estimates for the venture.

To run this back-test rigorously, key parameters must be clarified: the stock universe (e.g., U.S. common stocks), trade execution timing (close-to-close or open-to-open), weighting methodology, and transaction cost assumptions. A benchmark comparison against SPY is also optional. Finalizing these details will enable accurate portfolio generation and performance evaluation from January 3, 2022, to the present.
