Forward EPS estimate$1.80

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect PCG to earn is essentially unchanged. The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

PG&E Corporation (PCG): score, valuation & FAQ

PG&E Corporation (PCG) is a Utilities - Regulated Electric company that scores 61.1 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/S (A-) and PEG (A-), while FCF (F) rate weaker.

Is PCG a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores PCG 61.1 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/S (A-) and PEG (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of PG&E Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does PCG score 61.1 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). PCG earns its highest marks on P/S (A-) and PEG (A-), and is held back by FCF (F). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is PCG overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for PCG — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in PCG?

Free cash flow is negative (-$4.3b) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk.
