Key takeaways

PG&E (PCG) trades at about $16.49 with a trailing P/E near 13.1× on TTM EPS of about $1.28. That multiple is about 21% below the 5-year median of 16.5×.

Consensus from 11 analysts implies about 28.6% growth next year on an average estimate of $1.65 (range $1.64 – $1.74). Plugging the defaults into the calculator (24% growth, 16× exit P/E, 5-year horizon) yields a base-case price near $61.60, an implied about a 30.2% CAGR. These figures are illustrative and depend entirely on your assumptions — they are not forecasts of future returns.

Valuation verdict

Trading at discount

PCG trades at about 13.1× earnings, roughly 20.8% below the 5-year median of 16.5×. Under the model's base case the implied annual return is about a 30.2% CAGR — illustrative, not a forecast.

Analyst consensus and historical context

11 analysts cover PG&E (PCG) for the next fiscal year, with EPS estimates spanning $1.64 on the low end and $1.74 on the high end and an average of $1.65. Versus the latest TTM EPS of about $1.28, that consensus implies roughly 28.6% growth next year. Trailing 3-year EPS history is 12.0% growth per year; the longer 5-year window isn't yet reliable for this ticker. The bear, base, and bull defaults below derive their EPS growth assumptions from this consensus range so the calculator stays anchored to what the sell-side currently expects.

Annual diluted EPS

GAAP diluted earnings per share by fiscal year (from reported statements). Use it as context for the EPS growth assumptions in the scenario calculator above — not a forecast.

Across 14 fiscal years, diluted EPS went from about $1.92 in 2012 to about $1.18 in 2025.

Scale: -14.50 to 3.21 EPS; horizontal line at 0. Fiscal years with no row in the database are omitted.

Diluted EPS year-over-year change

Percent change vs the previous fiscal year in this series. If a fiscal year is missing in the database, the comparison is to the prior available year (not necessarily the prior calendar year).

Year-over-year EPS change in this window ranged from a high of +67.2% to a low of -512.8%.

Frequently asked questions

How is PCG's price target calculated?

Price targets here use projected EPS × exit P/E. Future EPS = TTM EPS × (1 + growth)^years, then price = future EPS × P/E. The tool pre-fills analyst consensus and historical ranges for PG&E (PCG) so you can compare your assumptions to the data.

What is PCG's base-case price target?

With about 24% annual EPS growth and a 16× exit P/E over 5 years based on consensus from 11 analysts, the base case for PG&E (PCG) lands near $61.60, implying roughly 30.2% CAGR. This is illustrative, not a forecast.

What P/E ratio should I use for PCG?

Defaults use the 5-year median P/E (about 16.5×) for the base case, the 25th percentile for bear and the 75th for bull. Adjust the Exit P/E sliders if you have a different valuation view.

What is PCG's expected return in this model?

Expected return depends on your assumptions. The calculator reports CAGR = (Future price / Current price)^(1/Years) − 1. This is illustrative only and not investment advice.

What growth rate do analysts expect for PCG?

Consensus from 11 analysts implies about 28.6% next-year EPS growth for PG&E (PCG) versus the latest TTM. The base case uses analyst-derived defaults; tweak the EPS growth slider if you disagree.

Is PCG's P/E high or low historically?

PCG currently trades at about 13.1× earnings, 20.8% below its 5-year median of 16.5×. The historical multiples card shows the full 5- and 10-year range.

What time horizon does the price target use?

The default horizon is 5 years; you can change it from 1 to 10 years. Longer horizons compound EPS growth and re-rating effects more strongly, so total returns become more sensitive to assumptions.

Is this a recommendation to buy or sell PCG?

No. The price-target calculator is an educational tool that turns explicit growth and P/E assumptions into a model price. Peers in the Utilities sector are listed below for context. It is not investment advice and does not predict future returns.

Use this list as a quick valuation context: open any peer's price target page to see how its bear, base and bull scenarios compare with PCG's. The list is filtered to active common stock and excludes ETFs and funds; it is sorted by market cap and updates with the daily company-data refresh.

How the PCG price target is calculated

We project a future price by compounding trailing twelve-month (TTM) earnings per share at an assumed growth rate, then applying an exit price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple at the end of the horizon. Defaults are anchored to analyst consensus EPS for the bear, base, and bull cases and to historical P/E percentiles (25th / 50th / 75th) so each scenario reflects a different but defensible mix of growth and re-rating. Total return is the gap between today's price and the modelled future price; CAGR is the annualised version of that return. The same TTM EPS, scenario sliders, and disclaimers are used across every ticker.

TTM EPS
Trailing twelve-month diluted EPS — the sum of the last four quarterly diluted EPS values from reported filings.
Exit P/E
The P/E ratio assumed at the end of the projection horizon. Defaults use 5-year median P/E for the base case.
CAGR
Compound annual growth rate; the per-year return that compounds to the same end value as the modelled price.
Bear / Base / Bull
Three pre-set scenarios spanning conservative through optimistic combinations of EPS growth and exit P/E.
