From Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc.'s FY2025 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2026 · read the filing
Southwest Gas supplies electricity, gas or water. It took in $1.94B last year, which makes it a mid-sized company. Of every dollar it sells, about 23 cents is left as profit.
The financial picture is mixed, with profitability and debt needing attention and growth weaker.
A conclusion from the filings, not a recommendation. Detailed figures and supporting evidence appear in their dedicated sections below.

Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
How the latest move compares (quote live), and what was published around it
SWX rose 3.01% on the latest quote. The average Utilities company tracked here moved +1.72%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 1.3 points above its sector and 4.0 points above the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
Opinions from 13 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 13 analysts publishing on this company, 6 say strong buy, 6 say buy and 1 say hold. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
Yes. It keeps about 23 cents of every dollar of sales as profit, earning $439.8M last year. Note that after $807.9M of spending on property and equipment, it consumed $251.8M more cash than it generated.
No. Sales shrank 21.6% last year.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Whether the dividend is covered by what the business actually earns
It pays out 41 cents of every dollar of profit and keeps the rest, which leaves the payment comfortably covered. It paid out 32% of the cash its operations generated. It has paid in each of the last 11 years.
GoodNext payment expected around , projected from how regularly it has paid before rather than from a date the company has announced.
Figures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it earned $439.8M and generated $556.1M of cash from operations.

Every figure above traces back to a filing in the timeline, each linked to the document itself.
The 6 subsidiaries named in its 10-K, incorporated across 3 places. A filer lists the significant ones and may leave the rest out, so this is the floor rather than the full count.
Source: Exhibit 21 of the 10-K filed 2026-02-25. These are legal entities, not brands or acquisitions — a company that bought a business may hold it inside an entity named here, or inside one small enough that the rule does not require naming it at all.
Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from SWX's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Feb 25, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing. Total liabilities were not tagged directly and were calculated as assets minus equity.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 8 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 4.7 | 6/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 3.3 | 7/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 26, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 4.7 | 7/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 28, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 4.7 | 5/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 28, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 4.7 | 2/9 | 10-K, filed Mar 1, 2022 |
| FY2020 | 4.7 | 5/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2021 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Improved: +8.0 pts
16.4% to 24.4%Critical
Why it matters: What survives each sale after running the business. A falling operating margin beside a steady gross margin points at overheads — wages, marketing, research — rather than pricing.
Improved: +14.6 pts
8.0% to 22.7%Critical
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.
Deteriorated: turned negative
$509.2M to -$251.8MCritical
Why it matters: Cash left after paying for the plant that produced it — the money genuinely available for dividends, buybacks or paying down debt. Harder to flatter than profit.
Improved: +119.9%
$2.77 to $6.09Critical
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Improved: +83.2%
$314.8M to $576.6MCritical
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Deteriorated: -21.6%
$2.48B to $1.94BSignificant
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
Improved: +16.6%
$406.5M to $473.9MSignificant
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.

Changed: +60.8%
$199.3M to $320.4MCritical
Why it matters: Neither good nor bad on its own. Heavy spending is a company building capacity or a company struggling to stand still, and the two look identical in this figure.

Improved: -22.4%
$4.40B to $3.41BSignificant
Why it matters: Rising debt is not automatically bad — borrowing to build something that earns more than the interest is ordinary. It matters when it grows faster than the profit meant to service it.
Deteriorated: -23.9%

4 other measures barely moved. Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Loading price history…
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 4.0% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
Manageable, but notable. Clearing its debt would take about 5.3 years of cash flow. For every $1 it owes, it owns $1.61 in assets.
The trailing P/E is 16.0x — investors pay $16.0 for each $1 of trailing profit.

Estimated from how often this has happened before, not a confirmed date.
Not investment advice, and not a signal to act on by itself — a filing says what happened, not why, and insiders trade for ordinary reasons having nothing to do with where they think the company is headed.
