Spire reported a fiscal third-quarter 2026 net loss from continuing operations of $42.6 million, or $(0.72) per diluted share, compared with $13.3 million a year earlier, after $36.0 million of pre-tax acquisition-related costs. The adjusted loss per share narrowed to $0.26 from $0.29, while operating revenues rose to $420.2 million from $352.5 million. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings per share guidance, which matters to shareholders because it signals no change to its outlook despite the larger GAAP loss.
