Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from PPL's reported EPS growth of -3.7% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.32
- Implied price
- $42.33
- Return from $32.80
- 5.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $21.05 — -35.8% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 22 | 27 | 32 | 37 | 42 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -13.7% | -12.5% | -8.8% | -5.7% | -2.9% | -0.4% |
| -8.7% | -7.4% | -3.6% | -0.2% | 2.7% | 5.3% |
| -3.7% | -2.4% | 1.7% | 5.2% | 8.3% | 11.1% |
| 1.3% | 2.7% | 7.0% | 10.7% | 14.0% | 16.9% |
| 6.3% | 7.8% | 12.3% | 16.2% | 19.6% | 22.7% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Insider trading
Open-market buys and sells by PPL officers and directors.
No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 22 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.
22 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
