We cannot judge PG&E Corporation yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

On the filings behind it, PG&E Corporation earns 3.9 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is low quality on our scale. A low reading means the reported numbers show weakness on several pillars at once, which is a reason to understand the business before anything else. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 52 Utilities companies, PG&E Corporation lands at the 47th percentile, just below the middle of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 3.9 and a company needs 4.4 to reach its top quarter, which leaves PG&E Corporation in line with the median.
Profitability scores 4.9 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 4.8, so PG&E Corporation is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 52nd percentile. An average profitability reading usually means the company earns a fair return without obvious pricing power, so the other pillars decide more of the story.
Solvency scores 2.1 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 2.9, so PG&E Corporation is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 15th percentile. Stretched leverage narrows the options open to management, since cash that services debt is cash that cannot be reinvested.
On growth, PG&E Corporation scores 6.3, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 47 Utilities companies, which places it above them, at the 80th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Efficiency scores 3.2 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 51 Utilities companies is 3.0, so PG&E Corporation is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 56th percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.
Predictability scores 2.8 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 51 Utilities companies is 3.5, so PG&E Corporation is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 35th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.
This is a lopsided profile. Growth scores 6.3 but solvency only 2.1, a gap of 4.2 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A solvency shortfall makes the business more exposed to rising rates and to a weak year.
Closing the gap on solvency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Utilities companies, 2.9, PG&E Corporation would score about 4.1 instead of 3.9. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
These are the Utilities companies closest to PG&E Corporation in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
