PSEG reaffirms guidance as nuclear and rate-case plans advance
PSEG’s Q2 update supports a measured constructive view: management described resilient utility and nuclear operations, maintained guidance, and continued to advance capital investment and new-generation plans. The thesis remains dependent on regulatory execution, market exposure, and the economics and timing of nuclear projects.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
