Executive Summary
Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) reported Q2 2026 non-GAAP operating earnings of $0.86 per share, up from $0.77 in Q2 2025, supported by utility distribution margin expansion and higher realized power market prices.
Core Signals
Revenue Growth & Demand: PSE&G experienced peak summer electric demand of 10,446 MW, its highest level in 14 years, while residential electric customer counts grew 1% and gas customers remained flat under weather-decoupled tariff mechanisms.

Full-year 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance of $4.28 to $4.40 and 6% to 8% operating earnings growth CAGR through 2030 were both fully reaffirmed.
Risk Signals
Proposed New Jersey legislation eliminating the 50 basis point RTO incentive starting in 2027 represents an estimated annual headwind of $40 million in net income or $0.08 per share.
Q&A Signals
Repeated analyst topics: Analysts repeatedly focused on the rate case timing, long-term earnings growth durability despite the loss of the RTO adder, and growth potential from PJM's Reliability Backstop Procurement.
Key Investor Debate
