STAMFORD, Conn., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Group, L.P. (the "Company" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider, today filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and announced financial results for the fiscal 2026 second quarter, the three months ended March 31, 2026. Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025For the fiscal 2026 second quarter, Star reported a 3.2 percent increase in total revenue to $766.7 million compared with $743.0 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher heating oil and propane volumes sold.
