National Fuel Gas to Complete Evaluation of Separation Plan by Oct. 15

09:55 AM EDT, 09/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- National Fuel Gas (NFG) said Thursday that by Oct. 15, its board expects to complete its evaluation of a plan to separate the company into two independent publicly traded companies. Under the plan, National Fuel's integrated upstream and gathering business would become an independent public company focused on its Appalachian upstream and gathering natural gas business, and National Fuel would become a 100% rate-regulated company with natural gas utility and interstate pipeline and storage assets across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, the company said. If the plan is approved, the separation would be executed through a tax-free distribution of shares to National Fuel shareholders, the company said. Price: 80.73, Change: +0.38, Percent Change: +0.47
