UBS cuts PCG price target to $14 and downgrades to neutral as revenue miss fuels sell‑off

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. saw its shares tumble after UBS lowered its price target from $19 to $14 and moved the rating to neutral, citing lingering wildfire‑liability risk. The downgrade came just before the company reported Q3 revenue of $6.19 billion, missing the $6.82 billion consensus, while earnings remained in line. The combined catalyst pushed the stock down 2.78% on Oct 22 and a further 3.43% on Oct 23.

The UBS downgrade and target cut reset market expectations for PCG, likely keeping the stock below the new $14 target until the company can address revenue shortfalls and liability concerns. Investors should anticipate continued price pressure and heightened volatility in the near term.
