ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) will release consolidated second-quarter 2026 earnings results on Friday, Aug. 7.

The latest trading day saw PPL (PPL) settling at $35.71, representing a -1.08% change from its previous close.

PPL's $23 billion grid investment plan targets reliability, outage reduction and 10.3% annual rate base growth through 2029.

GE Vernova is a global leader in power generation and grid solutions with a massive installed base of over 60,000 turbines. PPL provides steady, regulated utility services to millions of customers and is benefiting from rising data center energy demands.

PPL's data center-driven demand and $23 billion investment plan support growth, but premium valuation and lower returns warrant patience.

Skyrocketing demand from artificial intelligence data centers is exacerbating shortages of critical grid equipment like transformers across the U.S., driving up costs, stretching out wait times and spurring utilities ​and developers to lock in orders far in advance.

PPL's balanced portfolio and regulated utilities support decarbonization, stable cash flows and long-term earnings growth as electricity demand rises.
