Memo

Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PEG). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 12.2 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth 18.3%; net margin 16.0%; ROE 11.8%.

The estimated value range is 33.12–44.53 USD per share (median of 3 methods, agreement: low); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 37.99 USD, the price of 73.22 USD leaves a potential of -48.1% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -92.8% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 76/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: valuation. Not investment advice.

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • ROIC: 6.4%
  • Net margin: 16.0%
  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: 7.5%
  • EPS CAGR 3Y: 27.0%
  • P/E (TTM): 18.2x
  • Dividend yield: 3.6%
  • Payout ratio (EPS): 64.7%

What contradicts it

  • Current ratio: 0.9x
  • The price is above the estimated value range
  • The valuation methods diverge

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): Net debt / EBITDA, EV/EBITDA.

In brief

PSEG is a utility holding company with predominantly regulated electric and gas transmission and distribution in New Jersey, plus a nuclear generation segment. For 2026, the company maintained non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance of 4.28-4.40 USD per share 3. The 2026-2030 regulated capital plan of 22.5-25.5 billion USD 2 points to a growing rate base, but it depends on regulatory decisions.

SWOT

Strengths

  • The regulated rate base is large and predictable, with approved tariffs that allow long-term recovery of investment 1.
  • The carbon-free nuclear fleet runs at high capacity factors and benefits from PTC protection through 2032 2.
  • The margin stabilization mechanism reduces dependence of revenue on customer sales volumes 1.

Weaknesses

  • Long-lived assets make up a large share of total assets, exposing the company to impairment if revenues fall 1.
  • Dependence on New Jersey and FERC regulators can delay cost and return recovery 1.
  • Nuclear generation is exposed to PJM price volatility, and no PTC value was recorded in fiscal 2025 1.

Opportunities

  • Growing demand from data centers and electrification could extend regulated investment beyond the current plan 1.
  • Competitive transmission awards and possible long-term contracts for carbon-free nuclear power could add growth 2.
  • Energy efficiency and gas main replacement programs could support rate base growth 2.

Threats

  • Political pressure on rate affordability could limit regulated rate base growth or returns 1.
  • Removal of the transmission ROE adder for PJM membership could reduce annual net income 2.
  • Operational failures, grid incidents or extreme weather could create costs and reputational harm 1.

Risks

  • Rate affordability and regulationhigh

    Authorities could adopt measures that limit rate increases, which would affect investment and rate base growth 1.

  • Exposure to gas and power pricesmedium

    Nuclear revenue depends on PJM prices, and the PTC does not cover every market scenario 1.

  • Project execution delaysmedium

    Approvals, costs and construction timelines could delay projects, including the transmission project in Maryland and northern Virginia 1.

  • Climate and weather riskmedium

    Extreme events could interrupt service and create repair costs that may not always be recoverable 1.

  • New Jersey policy uncertaintylow

    The change of administration and the review of the energy plan could alter the policy framework and affect investment 2.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the regulated investment plan proceeds, the rate base could keep growing and support long-term revenue growth 2.
  • PTC protection and high capacity factors could help stabilize nuclear revenue in difficult market conditions 2.
  • Rising demand in the PJM region could justify grid investment beyond the current plan if policy supports these projects 1.

What would break the thesis

  • Pressure on rate affordability could cap regulated returns and slow rate base growth 1.
  • If PJM prices stay volatile, nuclear revenue could fluctuate meaningfully, and the PTC does not cover every scenario 1.
  • Removal of the transmission ROE adder or delays in transmission projects could reduce expected revenue and returns 2.

Products, market & competition

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 04 Aug 2026; since then the company filed 10-Q (02 Nov 2026), 8-K (02 Nov 2026 · results).

The business

PSEG is a holding company incorporated in New Jersey in 1985, operating mainly through PSE&G, a regulated transmission and distribution utility for electricity and natural gas serving about 6.8 million people 1. Through PSEG Power, it sells energy and capacity from 3,758 MW of nuclear generation 1. Growth relies on regulated investment, and the regulated rate base rose to about 36 billion USD as of December 31, 2025 2.

PSE&G earns revenue from tariffs approved by FERC and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, and a conservation mechanism means its margin depends mainly on the number of customers rather than sales volumes 1. The commodity portion of supply passes through to customers without margin 1. PSEG Long Island also operates the LIPA system under a contract extended by five years in 2025 2.

Segments

PSE&G

The PSE&G segment covers electricity transmission, electricity and gas distribution, and regulated solar and energy efficiency investments. Its energy efficiency program CEF-EE II was approved at about 2.9 billion USD 1. The company anticipated filing to update base rates by year-end 2026 2.

Competitive transmission

Competitively bid FERC-regulated transmission is a selective growth area. A project awarded in 2023 could face schedule delays against its 2027 in-service target, which could affect execution 1.

Market context

The key market is PJM, where demand is rising from data centers, EV adoption and electrification, and a lack of capacity has pushed prices up 1. This affordability pressure could lead regulators to limit rate increases, changing the terms of regulated investment 1.

Power and capacity prices are tied to federal and market decisions, and New Jersey's policy framework, including the updated Energy Master Plan from November 2025, is still under review after the January 2026 change of administration 2. Policy shifts could change demand and investment expectations.

Trends

  • Rising electricity demandtailwind

    Demand in PJM is growing from data centers, EVs and electrification, which could justify additional grid investment 1.

  • Rate affordabilityheadwind

    Higher power prices have raised affordability concerns, and regulators could limit rate increases, reducing investment returns 1.

  • Gas and power pricesmixed

    Natural gas prices strongly influence PJM power prices, making nuclear revenue market-sensitive even though the PTC offers partial protection 1.

  • New Jersey climate policymixed

    Climate and electrification goals could create new investment as well as costs and regulatory uncertainty, especially after the change of administration 2.

Competitive position

In generation, the company competes with other PJM producers, where price is set by the marginal unit dispatched 1. Regulated transmission and distribution are protected by the tariff framework, so direct competition is lower there 1.

In competitive transmission, PSEG relies on PJM-run bidding processes and competes with other bidders. A competitor's court challenge to the LIPA contract process illustrates the competitive risk in this area 2.

  • Other PJM power producers

    Producers compete for energy and capacity sales in PJM, where prices are set by the marginal generating unit 1.

  • Competing bidders in transmission auctions

    Bidders in competitive transmission solicitations, including the party that challenged the LIPA contract process in court 2.

  • PJM Interconnection

    The grid and market operator in the region, not a direct competitor, but its capacity and reliability rules shape returns 1.

  • Other utilities bidding for transmission

    Other utility companies can bid in FERC-regulated transmission solicitations, which can limit growth opportunities 1.
