Sempra Falls 1.57% on $350M Volume as Regulatory Delays and Mexico Expansion Weigh on 354th Liquidity Rank

Sempra (SRE) closed down 1.57% on October 10, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.35 billion, ranking 354th in market liquidity for the day. The decline followed mixed signals from energy infrastructure updates and regulatory developments in its core markets.

Recent filings highlighted potential delays in the California Public Utilities Commission’s review of rate adjustments for San Diego Gas & Electric, a key Sempra subsidiary. Analysts noted this could temporarily pressure earnings visibility. Additionally, a proposed expansion of Mexico’s cross-border gas transmission capacity raised long-term growth questions but lacks immediate operational impact.

Short-term technical indicators suggest bearish momentum, with the stock breaking below its 50-day moving average. Institutional selling pressure intensified mid-week, though retail investor activity remained neutral. No major earnings revisions or dividend adjustments were announced in the past week.

Backtesting of a high-liquidity strategy (Jan 2022–present) would require clarifying parameters: universe scope (e.g., Russell 3000 vs. full US equities), volume metric (dollar vs. share volume), entry timing (open vs. close), and benchmark selection. Current tools limit daily rebalancing across 500+ tickers without external data export. Performance evaluation remains pending these specifications.
