Public Service Enterprise Group

Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), based in Newark, New Jersey, is a predominantly regulated electric and gas utility holding company with a nuclear generation business. Its main subsidiary PSE&G provides distribution service to 2.4 million electric and 1.9 million gas customers across about 2,600 square miles of New Jersey and owns electric transmission; PSEG Power & Other holds nuclear generation (Salem, Hope Creek and an interest in Peach Bottom), gas supply operations and PSEG Long Island, which operates LIPA’s electric grid under contract. 2025 operating revenues were $12,168 million (PSE&G $9,558 million) and net income $2,111 million. The business plan allocates capital mainly to regulated investments (capital expenditures $3,272 million in 2025). PSEG raised its dividend for 2026 to an indicative $2.68 per share annual rate. It faces a 2025 antitrust class action alleging nuclear generators conspired to fix nuclear workers’ pay.

    Revenue grew +4.8% a year over 5 years (modest growth)

    From $9.6B in FY2020 to $12.17B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.

  • ―

    Operating margin held roughly flat: 23.6% → 24.5%

    How much operating profit is left per $100 of revenue. It moved +0.9 points over 5 years — pricing power, cost control, and product mix all show up here.

  • ▼

    Equity ratio is 29.5% (relatively heavy reliance on debt)

    The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).

  • ▼

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 6 years

    Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.

  • ▲

    ROE averaged 9.4% over 6 years (latest: 12.8%)

    How much profit was generated on shareholders’ equity. Roughly 10%+ is often cited as solid for a U.S. company, though this varies a lot by industry and capital intensity.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data

ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.

ROIC (FY2025)

6.6%

formulaoperating income × (1 − tax rate) ÷ invested capital × 100 *invested capital = interest-bearing debt + total equity (average of beginning/ending)

e.g.$2,980M × (1 − 11.5%) ÷ $39,939M × 100 = 6.6%

termsOperating income · Effective tax rate · Invested capital · Interest-bearing debt · Total equity

WACC (this site’s estimate)

6.09%

formulacost of equity × equity weight + cost of debt × (1 − tax rate) × debt weight

e.g.Equity weight: $39.99B ÷ ($39.99B + $24.07B) = 62.4%

e.g.Debt weight: $24.07B ÷ ($39.99B + $24.07B) = 37.6%

e.g.WACC: 7.5% × 62.4% + 4.2% × (1 − 11.5%) × 37.6% = 6.09%

How firm is this? With the equity risk premium ±1 point and beta ±0.2, WACC runs 5.2%–7.2% and ROIC − WACC runs −0.6 to +1.4 points. The sign flips inside this range, so the result depends on the assumptions. This describes the latest year and does not predict future value creation.

What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data

A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.

Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)

6.0%

Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 6.1% − 0.0%

Past FCF growth (FY2020–FY2025)

-32.0%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Past revenue growth (FY2020–FY2025)

+4.8%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $26M (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $60.34B = market cap $36.39B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $24.07B − cash and short-term investments $132M; r = WACC of 6.1% using this page’s default assumptions (β 0.47, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).

Three WACC scenarios

The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.

Try your own assumptions

V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.

Theoretical enterprise value

$26B

FCF $26M ÷ (6.1% − 6.0%)

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value

0.43x

Below 1x: these assumptions value the business below the market did

How sensitive the answer is

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.

g \ r4.1%5.1%6.1%7.1%8.1%
0%0.01x0.01x0.01x0.01x0.01x

4%0.43x0.04x0.02x0.01x0.01x
6%——0.43x0.04x0.02x
8%————0.43x

A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

Who holds the sharesFrom SEC dataShow

How much of the stock large institutional investors report owning on SEC Form 13F, how much the directors and executive officers hold (and how much of the vote they control), and roughly how much is left for individual investors. Shown next to beta so the holder mix can be read alongside how much the stock swings.

Institutions, insiders and everyone else, 13F holdings as of 2026-06-30

“Everyone else” is what remains after shares reported on Form 13F and shares held by directors and executive officers: mostly individual investors, plus non-insider families or foundations and smaller or foreign institutions.

New or substantially reworded (4)

  • PJM continues to face significant resource adequacy challenges, driven by a lack of sufficient supply to meet electric demand, which has increased significantly over the past several years and is expected to continue to increase going forward. Increasing demand is caused by data centers, EV adoption, electrification and other factors. Insufficient supply to meet forecasted demand has caused increases in energy and capacity prices which, in turn, have caused the customer rates by which we recover electric supply costs to materially increase. This has resulted in continuing affordability concerns that have caused regulators and other policymakers to consider ways to reduce utility rates, including proposing to mitigate electric rate increases, and create increased regulatory uncertainty for utility investment initiatives and programs. Actions that policymakers could implement in response…

  • Generation activities at the Peach Bottom plants present risks similar to those to which nuclear generation plants that we operate are subject.

  • Generation activities at, and the operation of, the Peach Bottom plants present risks similar to those described above in GENERAL OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RISKS and RISKS RELATED TO OUR GENERATION BUSINESS and below in REGULATORY, LEGISLATIVE AND LEGAL RISKS.

  • Hazardous Substance Liability— PSEG’s operations involve substances and byproducts classified by environmental regulations as hazardous. Read more

    These regulations impose handling, storage and disposal requirements for hazardous materials. They can also impose strict and joint and several liability for damages to the environment, including cash penalties. Federal and state environmental laws and regulations require the cleanup of discharged hazardous substances.

  • Climate change-related political action and state and federal policy goals, including but not limited to those related to energy efficient targets, solar targets, energy storage targets, encouragement of electrification through EV adoption, policies to restrict the use of natural gas in new or existing homes and businesses, or encourage electrification of end use equipment currently fueled by natural gas, and the associated legislative and regulatory responses, may create financial risk as our operations may be subject to additional regulation at either the state or federal level in the future. Increased regulation of GHG emissions could impose significant additional costs on our electric and natural gas operations, our suppliers and ultimately, our customers. Developing and implementing plans for compliance with GHG emissions reduction, clean/renewable energy requirements, or for…

  • We are also exposed to the risk of pandemics, which could result in service disruptions and delays or otherwise impair our ability to timely provide service to our customers, complete our investment projects or obtain timely recovery of our costs.

  • An increasing demand for power and load growth, potentially compounded by a shift away from natural gas toward increased electrification could cause reliability issues and higher costs for customers, which could lead to potential pressure on fair and timely recovery of our investments and proposed programs.

  • energy storage, fuel cells, and DR technologies. Higher electric demand could significantly increase the prices of energy and capacity, as well as raise resource adequacy and reliability concerns within PJM, particularly if that increased demand outpaces the addition of firm generation capacity and in transmission constrained zones. This resource adequacy challenge presents reliability concerns, as well as potential for increasing energy and capacity prices that could place pressure on customer bills, could attract political and regulatory scrutiny and increase regulatory uncertainty for utility investment initiatives and programs.
