PSEG stock holds firm after Q2 EPS beat

Q2 earnings frame the move
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (US7445731067) reported second-quarter EPS of $0.86 on August 4, 2026, topping the $0.80 consensus by $0.06. Revenue came in at $2.55 billion, down 8.9% from the same quarter last year, while net margin reached 16.04%.
That combination matters because the company also held FY 2026 guidance at $4.28 to $4.40 per share, leaving investors to weigh a modest earnings beat against softer sales. The current-year analyst view in the same reporting window points to $4.36 EPS.
Market data stays central
The stock carries a market cap of $36.53 billion and trades under the ticker PEG on the NYSE. Its August 26, 2026 market profile also shows a beta of 0.51 and a P/E ratio of 18.23.
For a regulated utility, that valuation sits beside a business mix that is still being judged by earnings reliability rather than rapid growth. A 12.42% return on equity from the latest quarter adds another reference point for that debate.

What the business sells
