- Reported core EPS was $0.40 for Q2 and $0.83 for the first half of 2026, with full-year guidance maintained at $1.64 to $1.66, implying roughly 10% growth.
- The company reiterated its vision for double-digit EPS growth through 2030 and a $73 billion capital plan without additional equity financing.
- Operational improvements included a 23% reduction in residential bundled electric rates for vulnerable customers and a 23% year-to-date improvement in reliability.
- PG&E emphasized zero public safety incidents and no structures destroyed from wildfire events linked to their equipment for the fourth consecutive year.
- Management remained focused on wildfire liability reform as a critical factor for future investment grade credit and capital allocation but cautioned that unresolved regulatory issues could force reassessment of capital plans.
