Reassessing ONE Gas (OGS) Valuation After Recent Share Price Pullback

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

ONE Gas (OGS) has been quietly slipping over the past week and month, even though its year to date and 1 year returns are still comfortably positive. That disconnect is worth unpacking.

See our latest analysis for ONE Gas.

With the share price now around $77.64, the recent 7 day and 30 day share price declines sit in sharp contrast to a double digit year to date share price return and solid 1 year total shareholder return. This suggests momentum has cooled, but the longer term trend remains constructive.

If ONE Gas has you reassessing where steady utilities fit in your portfolio, it might also be worth exploring healthcare stocks for a different mix of defensive growth ideas.

That mixed picture, plus a modest discount to analyst targets, raises the key question: Is ONE Gas a quietly undervalued compounder, or is the steady growth story already fully reflected in today’s price?

Most Popular Narrative: 9.8% Undervalued

With ONE Gas closing at $77.64 against a narrative fair value of about $86.07, the story frames current pricing as a modest opportunity, not excess.

Supportive Texas legislation and interest rate tailwinds are viewed as structural positives that can enhance cash flow durability and reduce perceived risk, which some analysts believe justifies higher price targets.

Result: Fair Value of $86.07 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this narrative depends on flawless regulatory support and disciplined capex, and any setback in those areas could quickly undermine the current valuation case.
