PPL (PPL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PPL's recent financial performance indicates a strong upward trajectory, with an increase in EBITDA estimates for 2024 and 2025 to $4.328 billion and $4.552 billion, respectively, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and volume growth. The forecasted growth is supported by rising conventional volumes and robust contributions from its subsidiaries, including the Alliance and Peace segments. Furthermore, the adjustments in annual funds from operations per share (AFFO/share) to $5.45 and $5.54 for 2024 and 2025, respectively, underscore the company's strong cash flow generation and financial health, positioning it favorably in the utility sector.
Bears say
The negative outlook on PPL's stock is primarily driven by several fundamental risks, including a weak energy market characterized by lower-than-expected throughput on pipeline systems and increased regulatory intervention. Additionally, operational issues and the company's ability to complete new projects on time and within budget pose significant threats to profitability, further exacerbated by reduced margins in the midstream and marketing segments. Furthermore, concerns regarding the overall market sentiment towards hydrocarbon infrastructure add an existential risk to PPL's pipeline business, which may undermine investor confidence in the company's future acquisitions and investments.
