PPL's latest reported quarter produced EPS of USD 0.33 against a USD 0.34 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. Quarterly revenue was USD 2.11 billion versus USD 2.19 billion expected, while EPS increased from USD 0.32 in the prior-year quarter.

The same September 22, 2026 report stated that revenue increased 4.2 percent year over year and that PPL reaffirmed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 1.90 to USD 1.98.
