Insights

Capital structure and income securities analyst

Spire is retiring an entire preferred stock series, reshaping its capital structure.

Spire Inc. plans to redeem all outstanding 5.90% Series A preferred shares and related depositary shares on February 13, 2026. Each depositary share pays holders $25.00 plus $0.36056 in accumulated and unpaid dividends, after which the security disappears.

This step removes a fixed 5.90% preferred dividend layer from the capital stack, which can affect future financing costs and the mix between debt, preferred, and common equity. The aggregate size of this series is not quantified here, so the scale of the change is not evident from this excerpt alone.

After redemption, the preferred stock and depositary shares will no longer be outstanding and will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Future disclosures in company filings may clarify how this redemption is funded and whether it is replaced with other forms of capital.
