Q3 Adjusted EPS of $1.06 Misses Estimates; Full-Year Outlook Cut Below Consensus
POR is trading near its 52-week low of $43.255 (2.3% above the low).
Summary
Portland General Electric posted Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.06, short of the $1.11 IBES estimate, on net revenue of $969 million. The bigger issue is guidance: management now sees full-year adjusted EPS of $3.18-3.28 versus the $3.35 consensus, a clear cut to expectations. That lands on top of a rough stretch — the stock is trading near its 52-week low after the September OPUC order imposed conditions beyond the agreed stipulation, including dividend restrictions tied to the holding company reorganization. The company is also carrying a $1.9 billion acquisition and has been funding it with over $1 billion in new equity and debt, including a $500 million ATM program, while net income fell 30% in the first half of 2026. A guidance miss into that backdrop gives traders little reason to step in near the lows.
