The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- PPL closes above its 50-day average ($34.20) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($36.07): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $35.80, PPL is 10.7% below its 1-year high of $40.11, set on April 13, 2026, and 13.4% above its 1-year low of $31.56 (September 25, 2026).
- Over the past month PPL rose 5.0%, from $34.10 to $35.80.
- PPL trades at 20.6x its last twelve months of earnings and 16.9x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 21.7% higher.
- Its P/E is 9.8% above the 18.7x median of the 3 other utilities—regulated electric companies we track (NEE, SO, DUK).
- PPL's 30-day volatility, 17.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.1%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.56: over five years of monthly returns, PPL moved about 0.56% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 2.4x PPL's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $34.20 (−4.5%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 5.5% to cross the 200-day at $36.07.
- A close above $40.11 (+12.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $31.56 (−11.8%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for PPL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under utilities—regulated electric among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
