Description: PPL PPL February 11, 2026

PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) is a U.S. utility that serves roughly 3.5 million electricity and natural-gas customers across Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Rhode Island. The business is split into three regulated segments-Kentucky Regulated, Pennsylvania Regulated, and Rhode Island Regulated-and also operates generation assets in Kentucky. Founded in 1920, the company is headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

As of the latest FY 2023 results (released February 2024), PPL reported total revenue of $7.0 billion, adjusted earnings per share of $5.37 and a dividend yield near 5.1%. The utility’s operating cash flow was $1.5 billion and its debt-to-equity ratio stood at 1.2, reflecting a capital-intensive balance sheet typical for regulated utilities. Key drivers include inflation-linked rate cases that boost revenue in a high-interest-rate environment, and the ongoing transition to renewable generation which is being funded through the regulated rate base.
