UBS downgrades PG&E to neutral, cuts price target amid wildfire reform delays and lower growth outlook

UBS downgraded California utility PG&E Corp from 'buy' to 'neutral' and lowered its price target from $19 to $14 due to increased risks that wildfire liability reform in California will not advance this year. The downgrade reflects concerns over delayed legislative action, reduced long-term earnings growth assumptions, and a $2 billion capital expenditure deferral. UBS also cut its 2028 EPS estimate and capital expenditure forecast, citing regulatory risks and tax-loss selling pressure. PG&E's investment appeal now hinges on wildfire reform timing, with lowered growth and spending weakening its valuation.

PG&E Corp's recent downgrade by UBS is contextually placed amid a broadly declining Utilities sector on Pluang. For readers following US utilities, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 24, 2026 01:02 WIB: of 22 priced Utilities-sector US stocks, 2 rose and 20 fell today.
