PPL beat third-quarter estimates and raised its annual earnings growth target to 7%-9% through at least 2030. About $3 billion in expected share financing and slower dividend growth temper the outlook, but the expanded growth plan carries more weight.

The stronger growth plan could help PPL serve rising electricity demand, including from data centers. Its third-quarter results beat estimates, and sales rose 11.5%. Some new projects still depend on customers moving ahead. PPL expects to raise about $3 billion by issuing shares, which can leave current owners with a smaller piece of the company. It also expects dividend growth near the bottom of its 4%-6% range. These costs temper the case, but the higher growth target and larger investment plan carry more weight.
