Description: PPL PPL October 14, 2025
PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) is a century-old utility that serves roughly 3.5 million electricity and natural-gas customers across Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Rhode Island. Its operations are split into three regulated segments-Kentucky Regulated, Pennsylvania Regulated, and Rhode Island Regulated-each subject to state-level rate cases that shape revenue and profit stability.
Key financial snapshots (as of FY 2024) show revenue of about $9.8 billion, an adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) of $5.10, and a dividend yield near 5.2 %. The company carries a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of roughly 3.1×, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of utility infrastructure but also a disciplined balance-sheet approach.
Sector drivers that materially affect PPL’s outlook include: (1) the gradual shift toward renewable generation, which is prompting the firm to invest in wind and solar assets to meet state clean-energy mandates; (2) regional electricity demand growth tied to population and industrial activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian markets; and (3) the regulatory environment, where rate-case outcomes directly impact cash-flow generation and the ability to fund capital projects.
