PCG Q3 FY2026 earnings call — BigGo Finance

PG&E reported Q3 2026 core EPS of $0.41, raising YTD EPS to $1.24. The company reaffirmed 2026 and 2027 EPS guidance but will not provide guidance beyond 2027 due to a strategic review. Management highlighted challenges from California's lack of wildfire liability reform, which has led to higher financing costs. PG&E reduced its 2027 capital plan by $2 billion to $11.4 billion and is exploring structural alternatives to achieve investment-grade credit ratings.
