National Fuel Gas Company, a diversified energy company operating in the utility sector, stood out in InvestingPro’s analysis when trading at $47.79. The company’s robust fundamentals, including annual revenue of $2.04 billion and healthy EBITDA of $1.15 billion, suggested significant undervaluation despite six months of lackluster performance prior to the analysis.
