## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 19.3×** (5-yr avg 15.9×, 3-yr avg 15.7×). Portland General Electric Co trades at 19.3× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 15.9×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 12.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.2×**. Enterprise value is 9.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -7.8%** (5-yr avg -8.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 5.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 8.6%**. 8.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.4%**. 7.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
