PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/ represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/ a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.6/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1599 of 7,333 stocks, POR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
POR's quality score of 40/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 8.7% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 49.0% (sector avg: 52.6%), net margins of 9.8% (sector avg: 7.7%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
POR's value score of 51/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 17.27x, an EV/EBITDA of 17.95x, a P/B ratio of 1.50x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 40/100, POR exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 25.6% vs. a sector average of 4.2% and a return on assets of 2.7% (sector: 3.2%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
POR demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 61/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 25.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.20 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/ earns an excellent stability score of 87/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.20 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 113.00x (sector avg: 1.3x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 113.00x). At $4.8B (mid-cap), POR carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/ offers an attractive dividend yield of 4.7%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.4%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CO /OR/ is a mid-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1599 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 8.7% trailing the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of 16.7% above the 14.8% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While POR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector.
