Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Value (82): The shares cost little relative to the profits and assets behind them — which can mean the market is too gloomy, or that the business really is in trouble.
Issuance (28): The company has been issuing shares or taking on financing, diluting existing holders.
Size (22): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

Morningstar highlighted several undervalued defensive stocks with economic moats that could provide stability if the stock market declines in September. Portland General Electric Co. was included among these defensive stock recommendations.
Why it matters — A positive mention by Morningstar as a defensive, moat-backed stock could reinforce investor perception of POR as a stable holding during market volatility.
Portland General Electric is described as an attractive long-term utility investment trading at a discount due to perceived regulatory headwinds in Oregon. Its upcoming acquisition of PacifiCorp assets is expected to expand operations into Washington and reduce the valuation discount, while management maintains 2026 EPS guidance of $3.33–$3.53 with stronger earnings expected in the the second half.
Why it matters — A POR watcher would care because the article highlights the PacifiCorp acquisition and maintained earnings guidance as potential catalysts for narrowing the company's valuation discount.
Portland General Electric reported second-quarter GAAP net income of $68 million ($0.59 per diluted share) and non-GAAP net income of $74 million ($0.64 per diluted share), supported by industrial demand growth and regulatory recovery.
Why it matters — The results show that industrial demand growth and regulatory recovery are helping the utility offset power-cost timing effects and financing costs, which matters for assessing POR's earnings trajectory.
Portland General Electric Company held its Q2 2026 earnings call and published the transcript of that discussion.
Why it matters — The earnings call transcript provides investors and analysts with detailed insights into the company's quarterly financial performance and operational updates.
Portland General Electric reported Q2 earnings of $0.64 per share, matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate but down from $0.66 per share in the same quarter last year.
Why it matters — While earnings met analyst expectations, the year-over-year decline in per-share earnings may signal a change in profitability for the utility.
