On CAPS, 94% of the 322 members who have rated Sempra believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those bulls, TMFDeej, tapped the stock as a particularly potent income opportunity: "Sempra is a solid dividend-paying utility that has several catalysts that could cause it to soar in the coming years, including the commencement of LNG exports from its facility and the spin-off or IPO of certain assets."
