MDU Resources Group, Inc. (MDU): 22% 4. Black Hills Corporation (BKH): 19% 5. Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (SWX): 14% ### Strongest relative strength versus NIFTY 500 1.

Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (CPK): -7.5% ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: UGI Corporation is the scale leader at $7,359 million, 7.9% ahead of NiSource Inc.. Centuri Holdings, Inc.'s growth is 18.7% from a $3,156 million base, with 12 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: UGI Corporation is the scale benchmark; Centuri Holdings, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: UGI Corporation's growth falls below Centuri Holdings, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: UGI Corporation · $7,359 million | 7.9% versus #2 · NiSource Inc. | 4/8 recent comparable periods | 15/16 companies · 308 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. UGI Corporation (UGI): ₹7.4K Cr 2. NiSource Inc. (NI): ₹6.8K Cr 3.

Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (105.3% uncapped) growth from a $464 million profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale. Investor read: Atmos Energy Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal. Evidence: Atmos Energy Corporation · $1,346 million | 29.2% versus #2 · NiSource Inc. | 8/8 recent comparable periods | 16/16 companies · 312 observations Definition: Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank. ### Net profit — largest 1. Atmos Energy Corporation (ATO): ₹1.3K Cr 2. NiSource Inc. (NI): ₹1.0K Cr 3.

Centuri Holdings, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +0.5 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability. Investor read: Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal. Evidence: Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation · 13.5% | 84.9% versus #2 · Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. | 6/8 recent comparable periods | 16/16 companies · 298 observations Definition: ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability. ### ROCE — highest 1. Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (BIPC): 14% 2. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.

Only 13 of 16 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: MDU Resources Group, Inc. · 0.23× | 14.8% versus #2 · Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 13/16 companies · 58 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1.

A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. ## Every company - Atmos Energy Corporation (ATO) — market value ₹28.8K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026 - NiSource Inc.

UGI Corporation ranks first at 60.8/100 with 85.3% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company has the lowest comparable PEG? MDU Resources Group, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.23, among 13 of 16 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Utilities - Regulated Gas comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Mar 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company is the biggest? UGI Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $7,359 million, ahead of NiSource Inc. at $6,822 million. That covers 15 of 16 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company has the best profit margins? Atmos Energy Corporation has the highest operating margin at 39%, from 15 of 16 comparable companies. Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +8.9 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company makes the most profit? Atmos Energy Corporation earns the most, at $1,346 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 16 of 16 comparable companies. Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company earns the highest return on capital? Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 13.5%, across 16 of 16 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas stock is the cheapest? On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — MDU Resources Group, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.23×. Only 13 of 16 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Utilities - Regulated Gas sector beating the market? Utilities - Regulated Gas has underperformed S&P 500 by 6.9% over the last 52 weeks and 7.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 1 of 16 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas stock has the strongest price momentum? New Jersey Resources Corporation has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all. ### Which Utilities - Regulated Gas company scores highest for research priority? UGI Corporation scores 60.8 out of 100 with 85.3% evidence confidence, from 20.2 points on growth and earnings, 12.7 on capital efficiency, 14.9 on valuation and 13 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Utilities - Regulated Gas companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Utilities - Regulated Gas sector?
