SRE Performance Today & Crunch Time

Exceptional day today by SRE.

SRE broke $94 price and reached a high of $95.64, while it didn’t stick, it was a good run. SRE led the entire XLU sector with a ~2.06% gain. If we look at the chart below, we see the following:

• SRE tested the resistance & worked its way close to the overbought 70 mark
• In comparison to XLU, the outperformance is evident, within the time range below, we see a 3.39% difference

SRE also outperformed SPY by ~2.6%, this is a great bullish moment. Although I'll admit, there is only 1,072 open interest. I think it's underestimated considering its performance today.

Something I said before I bought in, it was that SRE is not too volatile but not too lagging either. I get why other investors may be going for other holdings like CEG, but SRE in my opinion is one of the underdogs within the sector. I think it's cool that wall street analysts value SRE at $100 average and $95 low, this boosts my confidence. Not only for my current contract, but in general, it gives me validation in thinking I have a decent grasp on how this works. OF COURSE, I am still learning, but I feel good about it.

So, it is starting to be crunch time for me for two reasons:

1. PPI report is coming out on March 18,2026 - this may change the course of SRE.
2. Ex Dividend for SRE on March 19, 2026 - we already know that when this takes place, SRE will lose $.66

The two points above definitely play a huge role on next week's performance. If we break past my break-even point, I may exit the contract to avoid the $0.66 cut.

Overall, I feel great about this trade. I've had my frustrations of course, but in trying to navigate my emotions through this, I also did realize that I have plenty of time and we are already performing above 2% as of today. It's the weekend again, while it is not my favorite because the market is closed, I definitely need to recharge.
