Portland General Electric stock (ISIN US7365088472) was at USD 45.00 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, while the utility works through a fresh Federal Energy Regulatory Commission tariff filing and a recent earnings miss. The shares traded between USD 44.31 and USD 45.50 during the session, putting the price 17.6 percent below the 52-week high of USD 54.62.
Tariff filing adds regulatory context
Portland General Electric filed an amendment covering its Open Access Transmission Tariff and a pro forma Network Operating Agreement, Simply Wall St reported on October 4, 2026. The filing gives investors a concrete regulatory checkpoint as transmission access and interconnection decisions shape the utility's capital plans.
The company serves more than 950,000 customers in 51 Oregon cities and operates a generation fleet with capacity above 3,500 megawatts, according to Portland General Electric. That operating footprint makes tariff outcomes relevant to both investment spending and future rate recovery.
Quarterly numbers missed consensus
For Q2 2026, Portland General Electric reported USD 814 million in revenue and diluted EPS of USD 0.64, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was USD 25.75 million below the USD 839.75 million estimate, while EPS missed the USD 0.65 consensus by USD 0.01; revenue nevertheless increased 0.9 percent from the comparable quarter.
The earnings comparison matters because the latest quarter combined a revenue shortfall with lower EPS than the USD 0.66 reported in the comparable period. The result leaves regulatory execution and earnings delivery as the two measurable issues behind the stock's position below its yearly high.
Analysts keep a Hold view
MarketBeat reported a Hold consensus from 10 brokerages, including eight Hold ratings and two Buy ratings, with an average 12-month price target of USD 51.15. Compared with USD 45.00 on October 5, 2026, that target lies 13.7 percent above the stock price.
BMO Capital Markets cut its price target from USD 52.00 to USD 47.00 and retained a Market Perform rating, MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026. The revised target is USD 2.00 above the current quote, a narrower gap than the broader consensus target.
Dividend payment is scheduled
Portland General Electric declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.5513 per share, payable on October 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 25, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The scheduled payment adds an income component while the market weighs the earnings miss and the tariff process.
