Portland General Electric (NYSE:POR) reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings that reflected resilient industrial demand, even as historic winter weather in the Pacific Northwest tempered bottom-line results.
For the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, the utility posted a net income of $41 million, or $0.36 per share.
When adjusted for one-time transformation costs and weather-related impacts, earnings reached $0.47 per share.
Revenue for the period hit $889 million, as the company navigated a "historic" fourth-quarter weather event that management estimated reduced earnings by approximately $0.17 per share.
Despite the quarterly volatility, the company’s full-year 2025 performance underscored a booming high-tech sector in its service area.
PGE reported an annual profit of $306 million, or $2.77 per share, on revenue of $3.58 billion.
The results were buoyed by a 14% year-over-year surge in industrial demand, largely driven by the rapid expansion of data centers and semiconductor manufacturing in Oregon’s "Silicon Forest."
Looking ahead, PGE initiated a confident 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33 to $3.53, well above 2025 levels.
This optimistic outlook is supported by a massive strategic expansion: a $1.9 billion agreement to acquire select Washington utility assets from PacifiCorp.
