PSEG Q1 Generation Dips While Electricity, Gas Sales Increase

By

-- Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG) reported Q1 earnings on Tuesday, with nuclear generation slipping while electricity and gas sales volumes increased from a year earlier.

PSEG produced about 7,989 gigawatt-hours of nuclear energy in Q1, down from 8,355 GWh a year earlier.

The company's New Jersey nuclear fleet generated 5,092 GWh for the quarter ended March 31, compared with 5,464 GWh a year earlier, while Pennsylvania output rose slightly to 2,897 GWh from 2,891 GWh in the year-ago period.

PSEG delivered total electricity sales of 10.371 terawatt-hours in Q1, up 4% from a year earlier, including 3.49 TWh from residential customers and 6.78 TWh from commercial and industrial users.

Total natural gas sales and transported volumes reached 1,464 million therms in the quarter, up 7% from the year-ago period.

In the firm sales segment, residential gas sales were 792 million therms for the quarter, up 6% from a year earlier, while commercial and industrial firm sales were up 3% at 511 million therms.

Non-firm gas sales climbed to 161 million therms for the quarter, up 24% from a year earlier.

The company is advancing a capital spending plan of about $4.2 billion for 2026, focusing on infrastructure modernization, energy efficiency programs and electrification initiatives across its regulated operations.

PSEG has launched its GSMP III program, representing about $1.4 billion in planned investment over three years.

The company replaced about 165 miles of gas mains and 30,400 associated services over the trailing 12 months, compared with prior system levels, as it continued reducing methane emissions across its network.

American Electric Power CEO Says Speed to Market Key Issue in Load Connection

American Electric Power (AEP) CEO Bill Fehrman said Tuesday that speed to market is the main issue in efficiently connecting energy load to generation.In a Q1 earnings call, Fehrman said that, in particular, the performance and stakeholder approval process of PJM, the US mid-Atlantic grid operator, represents a major challenge."The current state of PJM's performance and stakeholder approval process does not give me great confidence that these issues will be resolved any time soon," Fehrman said on the call."In fact, if something is not done now, I expect we could still be having these same conversations in 10 years," he added.Expanding and strengthening the grid will ensure new generation resources can connect quickly, reliably, and affordably to serve the growing load, the CEO said.Price: $137.27, Change: $+2.61, Percent Change: +1.94%

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Rating On Shares Of Pfizer Inc. To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target to $28 from $31, 9.4x our 2027 EPS estimate, below PFE's historical forward P/E average. We keep our 2026 EPS view at $2.99 and our 2027 EPS at $2.97. PFE delivered solid top- and bottom-line Q1 results today that exceeded expectations while demonstrating continued progress in its post-Covid transition strategy. While we continue to think that shares are trading at a discount, as the company's main focus in the next year is on AI integration, and a new transformative M&A is not a key priority, we see limited catalysts to drive meaningful upside potential. We think PFE is aiming to maximize value from launched and acquired products with particular focus on key areas: oncology, obesity/metabolic disease, and vaccines. PFE remains committed to maintaining its dividend, continuing productivity initiatives ($7.2B cost savings target), and pursuing targeted business development (with $7B capacity) but we do not expect PFE executing share buybacks to support the share price in the near term.
