<div id="readability-page-1"><p>12:10 PM EDT, 05/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:</p><p>We lift our 12-month target by $1 to $42, 21.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $1.99, near peers based on PPL's strong EPS and dividend growth potential. Our 2026 EPS view is kept at $1.95, and we initiate 2027 EPS at $2.12. Recent rate case outcomes have been largely constructive, which we think reduces execution risk and supports our confidence in timely cost recovery for the aggressive capital program. PPL guides for $23 billion in capital investments from 2026 to 2029, which it expects to translate into a 10.3% rate base CAGR, above peer growth rates, in our view. The Blackstone Infrastructure joint venture (51% PPL, 49% Blackstone) is gaining significant momentum, with gas turbine reservation agreements executed and multiple generation projects submitted into PJM's interconnection queue. This JV structure is particularly compelling because it provides exposure to merchant-like returns on generation assets serving captive data center loads under long-term contracts with &#34;regulated-like&#34; risk profiles.</p> <p>MT Newswires does not provide investment advice.
