What the Analysts think about CPK
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Chesapeake Utilities stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Chesapeake Utilities stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted EPS grew 8.4% in the first nine months of 2026, while adjusted gross margin rose 9.2%. Chesapeake reaffirmed its 2028 EPS guidance of $7.75–$8.00, pointing to continued growth from its regulated and transmission businesses. (Chesapeake Utilities Corporation)
The Florida Energy Pathway pipeline has secured about 250,000 dekatherms a day of capacity commitments, and NextEra Energy Resources has taken a 49% stake. The partnership shares the cost and execution burden of a $1.2 billion project aimed at meeting South Florida’s growing gas demand. (Chesapeake Utilities Corporation)
Residential customer numbers grew year to date by 2.7% in Delmarva, 2.0% at Florida Public Utilities and 1.7% at Florida City Gas. Chesapeake also signed 18 agreements for new Delmarva projects, adding a source of potential future connections. (The Motley Fool)
The company plans $550–$600 million of investment in 2026 and more than $2.2 billion through 2028, while its new $225 million share-sale programme could dilute existing holders. Short-term borrowing also rose to $325.9 million at the end of September, from $158.0 million at year-end 2025. (SEC)
Florida City Gas’s interim rate increase is subject to refund, and Chesapeake is seeking a larger permanent increase of $46.9 million. The final rate decision remains pending, leaving uncertainty over how much of its requested cost recovery will be allowed. (SEC)
Project delivery and cost control remain risks: Chesapeake raised the Worcester Resiliency Upgrade estimate by $25 million to $125 million, while the Florida Energy Pathway is not expected to enter service until 2030 and remains subject to permitting and other approvals. (The Motley Fool, SEC)
