Mixed Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Portland General Electric agreed on February 15, 2026 to acquire PacifiCorp's Washington transmission and distribution business and three generation facilities for $1.9 billion in cash, with a Manulife-led group expected to hold a minority stake. The deal depends on several regulatory approvals and can be terminated after August 15, 2027, with $35 million termination fees in certain cases. The same day, the company reported 2025 GAAP earnings of $2.77 per diluted share, down from $3.01 in 2024, and initiated 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33 to $3.53.

  • Closing requires Required Regulatory Approvals, including HSR, FERC, WUTC and OPUC; either party may terminate after August 15, 2027
  • 2025 GAAP net income of $306 million, or $2.77 per diluted share, versus $313 million, or $3.01, in 2024; total revenues rose to $3,576 million from $3,440 million
  • 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share; quarterly dividend of $0.525 per share payable April 15, 2026
