Strong Q2 Portends Continued Success For New Jersey Resources
Summary New Jersey Resources is executing a clean energy pivot, allocating over 60% of $4.8–$5.2 billion CapEx through FY2030 to solar-focused Clean Energy Ventures. NJR delivered strong winter-driven Q2 results, beating non-GAAP EPS by $0.30 and revenue by nearly 10%, and raised full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance to $3.48–$3.62.
