The Gabelli Equity Income Fund Mario J. Gabelli, Kevin V. Dreyer, Christopher J. Marangi | “National Fuel Gas Co. (2.0%) (NFG – $80.06 – NYSE) is a gas and pipeline utility with a growing exploration and production business. The gas utility serves 754,000 customers in Buffalo, New York, and Erie and Sharon, Pennsylvania. The pipeline & storage (P&S) business operates 3,000 miles of pipe and 34 storage facilities primarily in the state of New York. The E&P business, Seneca Resources, operates in Appalachia (where it owns 1.2 million net acres), primarily in the Marcellus and Utica shales and ended FY 2025 with nearly 5.0 Tcfe of proved gas reserves, making it one of the most resource-rich utilities in the U.S. These reserves are strategically important as natural gas demand in the Northeast accelerates, driven in part by rising electricity consumption from data centers and AI-related load growth. NFG's extensive pipeline and storage network further enhances the value of its upstream assets by providing reliable access to premium regional markets. Higher gas production and prices have helped drive very strong EPS and cash flow growth in recent years and will continue given legacy hedges roll off and are replaced at higher prices. NFG's pending $2.6 billion acquisition of CenterPoint Energy's Ohio gas utility will roughly double NFG's regulated utility rate base, expand its customer footprint, and increase the percentage of earnings derived from regulated operations. BSD Analysis: National Fuel Gas is vertically integrated gas infrastructure that the market treats like a commodity producer. Its regulated utility and pipeline assets provide stability that upstream optics obscure. Investors fixate on gas price volatility and miss the ballast from rate-based earnings. Appalachian production remains relevant as LNG exports expand. Capital discipline has improved materially versus prior cycles. Dividend durability is supported by diversified cash flows, not hope. This is natural gas exposure with built-in shock absorbers.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
