Why it matters

  1. What Public Service Enterprise Group does

    Public Service Enterprise Group generates and distributes electricity and gas to utility customers in New Jersey, collecting regulated utility rates for its essential infrastructure.

  2. What it does best

    PEG delivers reliable power distribution anchored by a regulated utility footprint, ranking in the top decile of its sector for revenue growth at 90th percentile. This captive customer base makes customer churn virtually nonexistent compared to non-regulated peers.

  3. The main risk

    Heavy reliance on capital-intensive grid and generation projects pushes net debt to $23.9B, creating exposure to rising borrowing costs that can pressure earnings if rate cases fall short.

Quality, check by check

Scored against its own industry, from company filings.

ProfitabilityFair

Operating margin stands at 23.1% with FCF margin ranking in the top quartile at the 83rd percentile, though profitability remains bound by regulatory rate caps rather than pure operating leverage.

MoatWeak

The regulatory monopoly locks in regional residential and commercial utility customers, supported by a bottom-quartile moat score of 3.5 that reflects minimal structural pricing power outside approved rate cases.

GrowthFast

Revenue growth hit 18.3%, well above its historical run rate, driven by expansion in the core utility and power operations.

Financial healthFair

With interest coverage at 2.7x and net debt sitting at $23.9B, debt servicing costs require close monitoring alongside free cash flow of $276.0M, making the balance sheet softer.

Insiders

Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
