Description: NFG National Fuel Gas November 04, 2025

National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE:NFG) is a diversified energy firm organized into four business segments: Exploration & Production, which discovers and extracts natural gas and oil; Pipeline & Storage, which operates an interstate gas pipeline network in Pennsylvania and New York and provides underground storage for its own distribution arm and third-party customers; Gathering, which builds and runs gathering infrastructure in the Appalachian basin and offers services to Seneca Resources; and Utility, which delivers retail natural-gas service to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in western New York and north-western Pennsylvania.

Key operating metrics from the most recent fiscal year show total revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, with the Utility segment contributing about 55 % of earnings due to its regulated rate base, while the Pipeline & Storage segment reported a capacity utilization of ~85 % and held ~2.1 billion cubic feet of working-day storage inventory. The company’s adjusted EBITDA margin hovered near 30 %, reflecting relatively low-cost upstream assets and stable utility cash flow. A primary economic driver is regional natural-gas demand for power generation, which is sensitive to seasonal temperature swings and to the ongoing shift from coal to gas in the Northeast power mix.

For a deeper, data-driven assessment of NFG’s valuation dynamics-including forward-looking cash-flow models and peer-adjusted multiples-explore the detailed analytics on ValueRay, where you can test the sensitivity of these drivers to different price and regulatory scenarios.
