Cost stock price forecast analysis reflects steady recovery after recent market pullbacks, as consumer spending metrics hit multi-year highs. Wall Street consensus rates the stock as "Outperform," aligning with bullish S&P 500 sector rotation towards discretionary retail. Moreen sees the possibility of HB 4384 generating a full-year benefit of about 18 cents in incremental EPS in fiscal 2026. He added that this benefit is not one-time in nature, and will grow with ONE Gas' yearly Texas capital spending. It is worth noting that Texas constitutes about 32% of OGS' rate base. "We believe this will place a floor under OGS' growth outlook at the higher-end of its 4-6%," said Moreen. Analyst sentiment trends dampened in early 2025, with several price target reductions , but it remains bullish for this market and provides solid support. The group of 26 tracked by MarketBeat exhibits a bullish bias; 17, or 65%, of them rate the stock as a Buy, with no Sell ratings, and the price target continues to trend higher. Market breadth indicators show that the cost stock price forecast benefits from retail sector strength, with breadth-thrust patterns signaling possible upside continuation to $565 levels.
