PG&E Corp

PCG · Utilities (electric & other services combined) · 10 years of annual accounts filed with the SEC · latest fiscal year ended 2025-12-31

PG&E Corp reported revenue of $24.9 billion in fiscal 2025, after growing 3.9% a year over the previous 9 years. Its operating margin widened from 11.8% in 2016 to 19.0%, and it earned 4.6% on its invested capital in the latest year. Of the $28.3 billion its operations generated over 10 years, 286.2% went back into the business and 7.2% to dividends; the share count rose 339.5%. On the accounting screens, it passes 4 of 8 Piotroski tests and its Altman Z'' of 0.50 is in the distress zone; 1 of the six cross-checks between its statements fires.

Share counts are in today's shares. The SEC's filings restate only recent years after a split, so these jumps were read as splits and the older years scaled to match — otherwise per-share figures would compare different units: 4-for-1 before fiscal 2020.

Is it growing?

Revenue and the operating income it turns into. Growth that does not reach operating income is growth bought with margin.

RevenueOperating income

Shares	+1.1%	+11.9%	+17.9%

Falling shares are buybacks: each remaining share owns more of the company.

Does it earn more than its capital costs?

Margins say how much of each sale is kept; return on invested capital says how much the business earns on the money it needs to operate. Growth only creates value when that return is above the cost of the capital.

Is the profit cash, and where does the cash go?

Net income is an accounting opinion; free cash flow is what was left in the bank after investing. Stock-based pay does not leave the bank — shareholders pay it through dilution — so it is shown taken off as well.

How strong is the balance sheet?

Debt is not bad in itself; debt the business cannot service in a bad year is. Net debt is debt minus cash, and below zero the company holds more cash than it owes.

Interest coverage: 2× operating income ÷ interest
Current ratio: 0.97 current assets ÷ current liabilities

Three classic screens of the accounts

Each asks a different question of the same statements — is it improving, does it look like a company heading for distress, do the accounts resemble ones that were manipulated. None is a verdict; each shows what moves it.

Where it misleads: it measures change, not level. An excellent business that stood still for a year scores low; a poor one recovering from a disaster scores high.

Altman Z''-score

Does the balance sheet look like those of companies that went bankrupt?

0.50distress zone

Working capital ÷ assets -0.00 × 6.56-0.02
Retained earnings ÷ assets -0.00 × 3.26-0.01
Operating income ÷ assets 0.03 × 6.72+0.23
Equity ÷ liabilities 0.30 × 1.05+0.31

Where it misleads: buybacks. A company that returns so much cash that its equity turns small or negative sinks the last two ratios without being anywhere near bankruptcy. Banks and insurers do not fit the model at all.

Beneish M-score

Do the accounts resemble those of companies that manipulated their earnings?

The accounts lack too many of the lines it needs.

Where the statements disagree

Cross-checks between the income statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow for the latest year, each with the benign reading and the worrying one.

Inventory is growing 44% against revenue growing 2%.

Benign

Stocking up for a launch, or securing supply.

Worrying

Demand is softening; discounts or write-downs tend to follow.

What is it worth, under which assumptions?

A company is worth the cash it will generate, brought back to today. This model projects revenue with growth that fades over the years, applies a free cash flow margin, and discounts the result at the cost of capital. Every assumption says where it came from, and all of them can be changed.

The SEC accounts lack the lines needed for revenue, free cash flow or the share count, so there is no DCF for this company.

Accounts from the company's own SEC filings; lines some companies do not report are shown as a dash rather than estimated. The risk-free rate is the 10-year US Treasury yield. A DCF is a way of making assumptions explicit, not a forecast: it states what the company would be worth if the assumptions held. The scores are screens that point where to look, not verdicts. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.
