National Fuel Gas Announces Plan to Split into Two Independent Public Companies

Key Facts

National Fuel Gas announced a plan to split into two independent, publicly traded companies. Investing.com reported that the separation will be executed through a tax-free spin-off to existing shareholders, a strategic move designed to allow each business to focus on its specific strategic priorities and operational strengths.

The restructuring plan follows a session where NFG closed at $81.09 on October 13, 2026, having traded between a high of $81.33 and a low of $79.87. By separating its utility business from its midstream and upstream operations, the company aims to unlock hidden shareholder value and improve the operational focus of the two distinct entities.
