Activist Investor Voss Capital Urges Sempra to Spin Off Oncor
Activist hedge fund Voss Capital has urged Sempra (NYSE: SRE) to spin off its Texas-based electricity unit Oncor, arguing that an independent company would be a high-growth utility focused on Texas. The fund believes Oncor could be worth up to $78 billion by 2028.
Simpler Structure for Investors
Voss Capital says Sempra's current structure with three distinct businesses (California utilities, Oncor, and Sempra Infrastructure) is unnecessarily complicated. A spin-off would make it easier for investors to understand the company.
Oncor serves over 4 million homes and businesses in Texas and benefits from surging power demand in the state. Sempra acquired its stake in Oncor in 2018 for $9.45 billion.
