NiSource Inc. stock gains on data center deals and solid Q2 figures

NiSource Inc. stock (ISIN US65473P1057) is trading firmly after the regulated utility secured new data center contracts with Amazon and Alphabet and reported solid second-quarter 2026 results, reinforcing its role as a stable income name in the S&P 500 as of September 4, 2026.

Data center deals and Q2 2026 earnings

According to analysis by Simply Wall St, NiSource reported adjusted earnings per share of 0.22 USD for the second quarter of 2026, beating the consensus estimate of 0.20 USD per share.

The same overview notes that NiSource generated quarterly revenue of 1.28 billion USD in Q2 2026, above the market expectation of 1.21 billion USD, while net income for the period was 101.90 million USD compared with 474.00 million USD in the previous quarter, implying a 78.50 percent sequential decline largely driven by nonrecurring factors.

Stock performance and valuation context

Market data compiled by TradingView show NiSource shares at 40.33 USD as of September 5, 2026, up 1.26 % over the prior 24 hours, while the one-year performance stands at a gain of 20.42 percent, despite a 6.38 percent decline over the past month and a 4.45 percent loss over the last week.

Additional data from Cinco Días place NiSource’s closing price at 41.39 USD on September 4, 2026, a daily move of minus 0.64 percent, with trading volume of about 6,390,372 shares and an implied market capitalization of approximately 19.85 billion USD, underlining its status as a mid-cap utility within the S&P 500 index.

The same S&P 500 table indicates a 52-week low near 21.86 USD, which means that the early September 2026 price around the 41 USD mark leaves NiSource stock trading close to 88 percent above its one-year low, a level that investors in Europe can follow via the broad S&P 500 exposure of DAX family index products.

Earnings quality and dividend profile

The TradingView metrics also highlight an EBITDA of 2.76 billion USD for NiSource with an EBITDA margin around 45.97 percent, reflecting the relatively high profitability typical for regulated utilities that recover investments through approved tariffs.

For income-focused investors, NiSource pays a quarterly dividend, with the latest dividend per share reported at 0.28 USD and a trailing twelve-month dividend yield of about 2.77 percent, which sits slightly below some higher-yielding U.S. utilities but in line with a balanced growth and income strategy.
