Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

California's utility rate regulation is highly constructive with usage-decoupled revenue, annual rate true-up adjustments, and forward-looking rate setting.

Bears

PG&E depends almost entirely on regulators to approve rate hikes to cover its large investment plan. A cut in regulated rates could jeopardize earnings growth.
