## Important Disambiguation First

Before the analysis, a critical distinction: this review covers **Spire Inc. (NYSE: SR)**, the regulated natural gas utility (~$4.6B market cap). It is a different company from **Spire Global (NYSE: SPIR)**, a satellite/Earth-data firm (~$475M market cap). Do not conflate the two — e.g., the Morgan Stanley target cut reported for Spire Global (to $88) occurred on Sept 18, 2026, while a separate Morgan Stanley action on Spire (SR) occurred on Sept 21 [[1]](https://www.ad-hoc-news.de/boerse/news/nebenwerte/spire-global-stock-slips-after-morgan-stanley-cuts-target/70130035)[[10]](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/sr/forecast/). All findings below pertain to **SR**.

**Snapshot (as of Oct 9–10, 2026):** SR traded around $78.4 with a market cap of ~$4.64B [[7]](https://innellis.com/stocks/SR)[[10]](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/sr/forecast/). It is a regulated gas utility serving ~1.7 million customers in Missouri, Alabama, and Mississippi, and took over Nashville-area service from Piedmont Natural Gas effective March 31, 2026 [[18]](https://www.spireenergy.com/).
