PPL Corporation stock opened at USD 33.02 on September 22, 2026, just USD 0.03 above its 52-week low of USD 32.99 on the New York Stock Exchange. The utility's latest quarterly figures show revenue of USD 2.11 billion and EPS of USD 0.33, giving investors a precise measure of both operating growth and earnings pressure.

Revenue grows but misses estimates

According to Ad-hoc-News on September 22, 2026, PPL reported quarterly revenue of USD 2.11 billion for its latest reported quarter, below the USD 2.19 billion consensus estimate. Revenue nevertheless increased 4.2 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while EPS rose from USD 0.32 to USD 0.33.

The earnings comparison is less favorable than the revenue trend: EPS of USD 0.33 came in USD 0.01 below the USD 0.34 consensus estimate. That combination leaves the stock with a mixed operating signal, because top-line growth did not translate into an earnings beat.

Guidance keeps the valuation anchor

PPL reaffirmed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 1.90 to USD 1.98 in the September 22, 2026 report cited by Ad-hoc-News. The guidance midpoint is USD 1.94, which places the opening price at about 17 times the midpoint estimate before considering the company's dividend or future rate conditions.

Market data showed a 52-week high of USD 40.10, so the September 22 opening price was USD 7.08 below the yearly peak and USD 0.03 above the low. The same data put market capitalization at USD 24.85 billion, while the reported trading volume was 4.11 million shares, below the stated average volume of 6.81 million shares.

Stock remains below its yearly midpoint

The distance between the USD 32.99 low and USD 40.10 high gives a 52-week midpoint of USD 36.545. At USD 33.02, PPL traded USD 3.525 below that midpoint, leaving the share price in the lower half of its annual range. The next reported earnings date is estimated as November 4, 2026, according to the Yahoo Finance quote page.

PPL Corporation stock was USD 33.02 on September 22, 2026, at the latest completed close cited by the available market data. The USD 1.90 to USD 1.98 fiscal 2026 EPS guidance range and the 4.2 percent year-over-year revenue increase remain the key dated operating reference points.
