-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
PEG reported Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.55 vs. $1.43 (+8.4% Y/Y, +8.5% vs. consensus), supported by higher PSE&G margins from regulated infrastructure investments and customer growth, partially offset by higher depreciation and interest expense. PSEG Power earnings increased due to higher realized power prices and lower O&M costs, offset by lower generation volumes. We see the company as on target for $4.2B full-year 2026 capex guidance after deploying ~$0.8B in Q1, while PEG maintained long-term targets including $24B-$28B total capex for 2026-2030 and a 6%-7.5% rate base CAGR. Management reaffirmed its 2026 EPS guidance of $4.28-$4.40, representing ~7% growth at the midpoint. Both residential electric and gas customers increased ~1% on a trailing-12-month basis, which we think reflects continued execution of the regulated investment program. Annualized dividends were increased ~6% to $2.68 for 2026. We view this as a competitive growth rate amongst Multi-Utility peers.
