PSEG Q2 Profit Plunges 43% on Revenue Drop, Guides FY EPS $4.28-$4.40
PEG is trading near its 52-week low of $76.004 (0.9% above the low).
Summary
PSEG's Q2 GAAP EPS fell 43% to $0.67 from $1.17 a year ago, missing on a sharp revenue decline of 8.9% to $2.55B. Adjusted EPS of $0.86 also reflects significant pressure. The company set full-year EPS guidance at $4.28-$4.40, which will be closely scrutinized against consensus. With the stock already trading near its 52-week low, this earnings miss and soft guide could trigger further downside as traders reassess the utility's near-term earnings power.
