Research
A rate-base compounder priced near fair value while New Jersey politics resets the risk
Fairly priced compounder. At USD 74.29 PEG trades at 17.1x the 2026 guidance midpoint (4.28 to 4.40) and 16.0x our 2027 base EPS of 4.64, yielding 3.6%. Rate base of about USD 36B grows 6% to 7.5% a year with no new equity, but New Jersey's 2026 rate politics, a transmission ROE adder in question and an early rate case drove eleven of twelve target cuts in October. Scenario values USD 62.9 bust, 76.6 base, 91.0 boom (nuclear contract); consensus target USD 80. The Q3 report on 2 November 2026 is the next hard test.
