What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($31.00). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($16.55 to $31.00) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

60‑month range $20.59 – $39.49 · fair‑value band $16.55 – $31.00 · the $35.11 price screens above the $22.98 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
Analysis
PPL Corporation (PPL) currently trades at $35.11, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $22.98, implying the stock looks roughly 52.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $24.78 per share, and 0 of the 15 models we run sit above the $35.11 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $4.71, and 15 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, PPL Corporation generated revenue of $9.3B at a net margin of 13.1%. Revenue grew 10.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.3%. Net debt stands at $18.3B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.55 (bear case) to $31.00 (bull case); at $35.11, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −35%, PPL screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.3581 per share, which is 1.6 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($24.78) versus Economic Profit ($4.71). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 44 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 53
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
