We cannot judge Sempra yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

Sempra (SRE) has a Lemma Quality Score of 3.6 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as low quality. A low reading means the reported numbers show weakness on several pillars at once, which is a reason to understand the business before anything else. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Set against 52 Utilities companies, Sempra lands at the 31st percentile, just below the middle of the group. The median across the group is 3.9, and the top quarter begins at 4.4, so Sempra is in line with the typical company here.
Profitability scores 4.0 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 4.8, so Sempra is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 17th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Sempra’s solvency score is 3.6 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 2.9 among 49 Utilities companies, that is above the group and the 73rd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
On growth, Sempra scores 5.5, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 47 Utilities companies, which places it above them, at the 72nd percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.
Efficiency scores 2.6 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 51 Utilities companies is 3.0, so Sempra is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 26th percentile. Poor conversion of assets and earnings into cash can come from heavy investment phases, and it matters whether that investment is paying off.
On predictability, Sempra scores 2.1, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 3.5 across 51 Utilities companies, which places it below them, at the 20th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.
The profile is uneven. Growth leads at 5.5 while predictability trails at 2.1, a gap of 3.4 points, so the overall averages a clear strength against a clear soft spot. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Utilities companies, 3.5, Sempra would score about 3.9 instead of 3.6. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
These are the Utilities companies closest to Sempra in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
