Barclays Maintains Overweight on PG&E, Lowers Price Target to $20

While market volatility bubbles and macro uncertainty persists, investors are finding themselves once again besotted with a timeless safe haven: utilities. The Vanguard Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VPU#NYSE">VPU</a>) has surged into a new 52-week high, up nearly 20% from its one-year trough, and reinvigorated interest in the broader utilities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF universe.</a>
The rally occurs as economic data sends mixed signals, rate cut speculation mounts, and investors become increasingly skittish about high-multiple technology trades. Against this backdrop, the utility case is shining brighter, and VPU&#8217;s performance is highlighting why.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/07/46481143/meta-amazon-palantir-fuel-ai-data-center-boom-etfs-are-the-sleeper-bet">Meta, Amazon, Palantir Fuel AI Data Center Boom — ETFs Are The Sleeper Bet</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why VPU Is Outperforming</h2>
VPU tracks the MSCI US Investable Market Utilities 25/50 Index, providing exposure to U.S. utilities of varying market capitalizations, at a low annual fee of 0.09%. The fund&#8217;s low beta (volatility in comparison to the market) makes it attractive during turbulent times. The fund has a beta of 0.58 according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Furthermore, most of its components provide stable dividends, which are becoming increasingly enticing as interest rate reductions are on the horizon.
And how can we forget the immense power required to support AI datacenters, which has made the utility sector an unsung hero in today&#8217;s world.
However, it&#8217;s not only the flight to safety that drives VPU. Underneath, it&#8217;s holding stocks that <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/best-utilities-stocks-buy">analysts </a>at Morningstar believe are undervalued and stand to gain from a possible re-rating.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Stock-Level Spark: Undervalued Utilities Within</h2>
Multiple utility stocks that VPU holds in its top 30 continue to trade below fair value, though, despite the run-up in the ETF, according to Morningstar. These include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Edison International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIX#NYSE">EIX</a>) — riding regulatory tailwinds and wildfire mitigating investments</li>
<li>PG&amp;E (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) — recovering from prior legal issues and a turnaround story</li>
<li>Essential Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTRG#NYSE">WTRG</a>) — providing water and wastewater exposure with growth upside</li>
<li>Eversource Energy (ES) — with renewable energy investments set up for a future-proof portfolio</li>
</ul>
These stocks offer a mix of income, defensive qualities, and, in the opinion of some, discount valuations, providing stock-level tailwinds to VPU&#8217;s overall argument.
&#8220;We forecast Edison will invest nearly $8 billion annually for at least the next five years, resulting in 7% annual earnings growth off 2024 earnings, excluding one-time fire-related impacts,&#8221; a senior Morningstar analyst said about EIX. 
Moreover, the research firm believes PG&amp;E is 27% undervalued presently.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Does VPU Compare To XLU?</h2>
While VPU is making headlines with its 52-week peak, it&#8217;s not alone among utilities ETFs. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>), which invests in a narrower universe consisting of large-cap names, is also riding near its 52-week high. But VPU&#8217;s wider coverage (mid- and small-cap utilities as well) and lower expense ratio may prove beneficial for cost-focused or diversification-driven investors.
That being said, XLU&#8217;s greater exposure to dividend-paying giants such as NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) would make it more attractive to income-hungry investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Macro Tailwinds</h2>
VPU&#8217;s rally is against a backdrop that is designed for utilities:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Rate Cut Expectations: Declining bond yields and increasing hopes of Fed rate cuts make dividend-paying groups such as utilities relatively more appealing.</li>
<li>Policy and Trade Uncertainty: As voting, geopolitical stress, and shifting trade patterns come to the forefront, low-volatility areas with controlled revenue streams attract attention.</li>
<li>Volatility Fatigue: Investors tired of tech-fueled swings are rotating into areas that provide calmer seas.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Is There More Juice Left?</h2>
With a strong weighted alpha of 16.4 (<a href="https://www.barchart.com/etfs-funds/quotes/VPU/overview">according </a>to Barchart.com), momentum indicators indicate VPU&#8217;s advance can keep going, particularly if macro conditions remain volatile. The fund is not only enjoying defensive flows; it&#8217;s supported by fundamentally sound and cheap names that still have some legs left.

Utility ETFs Back In The Spotlight As VPU Hits 52-Week High

In the current session, PG&amp;E Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) is trading at $13.40, after a 0.89% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 5.39%, and in the past year, by 25.33%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752177619_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating PG&amp;E P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.14 in the Electric Utilities industry, PG&amp;E Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.4. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752177619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Underweight on PG&E, Lowers Price Target to $18

In the current market session, PG&amp;E Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) share price is at $17.86, after a 0.05% drop. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 1.72%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 6.24%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747692068_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>PG&amp;E P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
PG&amp;E has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 19.67 of the Electric Utilities industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747692068_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

PG&amp;E's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 12.79% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 37.09 million shares sold short, which is 1.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.73 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">List of the most shorted stocks</a>
<h3>PG&amp;E Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746450029_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PG&amp;E has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PG&amp;E's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

Evercore ISI Group analyst Michael Lonegan maintains PG&amp;E (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) with a In-Line and raises the price target from $15 to $17.

Evercore ISI Group Maintains In-Line on PG&E, Raises Price Target to $17

In the current market session, PG&amp;E Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) share price is at $17.18, after a 1.18% decrease. Over the past month, the stock went up by 1.24%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 0.43%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745596820_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>PG&amp;E P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.58 in the Electric Utilities industry, PG&amp;E Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 15.95. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745596820_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Guggenheim analyst Shahriar Pourreza maintains PG&amp;E (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $16 to $17.
