Wrong ticker, wrong transcript. PPL Corporation’s Q4 2025 earnings data shows $9.0B in quarterly revenue, but the conference call transcript provided belongs to Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX:PPL), a Canadian energy infrastructure company. The two companies share the same ticker symbol on different exchanges—PPL Corporation trades on NYSE while Pembina uses PPL on the Toronto Stock Exchange. This data mismatch makes meaningful earnings analysis impossible.
The numbers that exist. PPL Corporation reported Q4 2025 revenue of $9.0B, representing 8.4% growth year-over-year based on the company’s fundamentals data. The regulated electric utility posted a 12.2% profit margin and 26.6% operating margin for the full year. Shares traded at $37.04, up 1.1% from the prior close of $36.63, and climbed 4.7% above the 50-day average of $35.39.
Earnings estimate confusion. No EPS data was provided for Q4 2025 despite analysts expecting $0.42 per share according to the earnings history data. The most recent reported quarter—Q3 2025—showed EPS of $0.48 versus the $0.46 estimate, a 5.3% beat. For the trailing twelve months through Q3, PPL earned $1.47 per share on a P/E ratio of 25.2x, below the forward P/E of 19.0x based on 2026 estimates of $1.95.
Valuation gap persists. Shares trade at $37.04 against a consensus analyst target of $39.80, implying 7.4% upside. The stock carries a “buy” rating from analysts covering the regulated utility sector. PPL’s market cap stands at $27.4B with forward earnings estimates suggesting improved profitability ahead as capital investments in grid infrastructure drive rate base growth.
Q1 2026 visibility. Analysts project Q1 2026 EPS of $0.486, which would represent sequential decline from typical Q4 seasonal strength but align with PPL’s historical first-quarter pattern. The company has beaten estimates in three of the past four quarters, with only Q3 2024’s 17.2% miss breaking the streak. Full-year 2026 guidance will clarify capital spending plans and rate case outcomes across the utility’s Pennsylvania and Kentucky service territories.
