PPL Corporation · PPL · NYSE · Utilities · Regulated Electric
Research dated 2026-09-12: PPL is a regulated utility group serving electricity and natural-gas customers through distinct operations in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The defining question is whether profitable regulated operations can support a capital burden that has recently absorbed more cash than operations produced without adding further balance-sheet strain.

A full valuation, though quality and growth are only middling. The score also carries a risk penalty for a bankruptcy-risk score in the distress zone. Business Quality: Average; Financial Safety: Okay; Valuation: Rich; Growth Durability: Flat; Momentum: Quiet.
Enterprise value relative to free cash flow is the main valuation drag relative to sector peers.

What is PPL (PPL), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
PPL sells electricity and natural gas rather than a uniform utility service.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
PPL sells electricity and natural gas rather than a uniform utility service. Pennsylvania is principally an electricity transmission-and-distribution business, while Kentucky and Rhode Island add generation and gas distribution; Kentucky also sells wholesale electricity.
Consolidated revenue therefore combines different activities and regulatory territories. The segment view separates those economics, with Kentucky the largest contributor, followed by Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
What do the latest results show for PPL (PPL)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $2.11B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest reported period delivered higher revenue, operating profit, net income, and diluted earnings than the comparable period, even as revenue and earnings came in below consensus. The latest full-year result also showed revenue and net income rising from the preceding year.
Revenue moves with electricity and gas supplied across PPL’s regulated territories, while Kentucky adds generation and wholesale sales. Because those activities differ by territory, changes in segment contribution are more informative than treating consolidated revenue as a uniform measure of utility demand.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for PPL (PPL)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $332.00M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $583.00M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
PPL remains profitable, operating cash flow has stayed positive throughout the reported series, and the recent dividend record shows a regular distribution with an increase followed by stable payments. Those features provide a recurring earnings and cash foundation.
The pressure point is funding. Capital spending has exceeded operating cash flow through much of the reported series, cash fell sharply from the prior reported period, liquid assets remain small beside debt, and short-term liquidity is tight. Continued capital demands without stronger internal cash generation would deepen reliance on financing; the distress screen reinforces the need to watch that exposure.
Data-derived red flags
- Financial-distress signal — its Altman Z-Score of 1.09 sits in the distress zone (elevated bankruptcy risk).
- Inconsistent delivery — missed Wall Street EPS estimates in 3 of the last 8 reported quarters.
- Rich valuation — a P/E of 27.52 runs well above the Utilities sector’s ~18.50x, leaving little room for a miss.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

| Sep 30, 2025 | $966.00M | −$1.15B |
Operating cash-flow bars share one scale and show magnitude; negative values mean cash used.
USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at PPL (PPL)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 4, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
At the scheduled earnings release, watch whether revenue and earnings move back above consensus after the latest miss. Consensus expects revenue and earnings to keep climbing across the forecast horizon, so progress against that path matters more than any isolated period.
Cash conversion deserves equal attention: operating cash flow needs to close the gap with capital spending, and the cash balance needs to recover from its recent decline or financing dependence will remain prominent. Segment direction across Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island will indicate which regulated territory is carrying the consolidated result.
How does PPL compare with its peers?
Short answer
PPL's score ranks tied for 2nd of 5 in the bounded comparison shown, against 4 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
PPL is not merely a wires utility. Pennsylvania centers on electricity transmission and distribution, while Kentucky includes owned generation and wholesale sales and Rhode Island combines electricity operations with natural-gas distribution.
That mix creates broader operating exposure than a utility focused only on delivery, while keeping the company within regulated businesses. It also means comparison depends on generation exposure, gas participation, and jurisdictional mix rather than consolidated revenue alone.

Common Questions About PPL (Utilities)
Research dated 2026-09-12; the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does Pennsylvania Regulated actually sell for PPL?
Pennsylvania Regulated transmits and distributes electricity across eastern and central Pennsylvania. Its role is principally network delivery, unlike PPL’s territories that also include generation or natural-gas sales.
Why is Kentucky Regulated different from PPL’s Pennsylvania utility?
Kentucky Regulated spans electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and retail sales, along with natural-gas distribution and wholesale electricity. Pennsylvania is centered on electricity transmission and distribution.
What does Rhode Island Regulated add to PPL’s mix?
Rhode Island adds electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and sales alongside natural-gas distribution and sales. That combination broadens PPL beyond its Pennsylvania wires operations.
Can PPL’s regulated utility cash flow cover its capital spending?
Operating cash flow has remained positive, but capital spending has exceeded it through much of the reported series. With cash modest beside debt, closing that funding gap is a key financial test.

The 76 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
