PPL Corporation Raises Long-Term EPS Outlook After Q3 2026 Beat
PPL Corp posted Q3 2026 ongoing EPS of $0.54, topping last year's $0.48, and tightened its full-year guidance range to $1.92–$1.96.
PPL Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 ongoing earnings of $0.54 per share, a year-over-year increase from $0.48 per share in the same period of 2025, the utility company announced. On a GAAP basis, reported earnings came in at $0.49 per share for the quarter.
Building on the quarterly performance, PPL narrowed its full-year 2026 ongoing earnings forecast to a range of $1.92 to $1.96 per share, signaling greater confidence in its near-term financial trajectory. Management indicated the company remains on track to achieve at least the midpoint of that revised guidance band.
