PPL Corporation stock holds near $34 after dividend and guidance

PPL Corporation stock (ISIN US69351T1060) traded at $34.55 on September 9, 2026, after a 3.9 percent slide in the prior session. The company also reported Q2 2026 revenue of $2.11 billion and EPS of $0.33, while FY 2026 guidance stands at 1.900 to 1.980 EPS.

Guidance is the anchor

According to MarketBeat on September 10, 2026, PPL's Q2 2026 revenue reached $2.11 billion, up 4.2 percent year over year, and EPS came in at $0.33 versus consensus of $0.34. The same report said the company kept FY 2026 guidance at 1.900 to 1.980 EPS, while analysts on average look for $1.94 for the year.

That setup matters because the quarter missed EPS by $0.01 but still showed revenue growth, and the guidance range leaves only a narrow band around the Street estimate. For investors, the gap between $1.900 and $1.980 and the $1.94 consensus is the key number to watch.

Dividend date lands today

According to MarketBeat on September 10, 2026, PPL also set a $0.285 quarterly dividend with an ex-dividend date of September 10, 2026 and an annualized payout of $1.14. The same page put the dividend yield at 3.3 percent and the payout ratio at 67.46 percent.

MarketBeat also showed a consensus rating of Moderate Buy with an average price target of $41.00, which leaves 18.5 percent upside versus the reported share price of $34.59. That combination of income, guidance and valuation is why the stock stays easy to trade but harder to dismiss.
