The AI's read

California’s amended SB 492 did not provide wildfire fund recapitalization or a liability cap, leaving PG&E exposed to potentially uncapped wildfire liabilities beyond 2030. Sell-side downgrades and large price-target cuts followed, signaling increased financing and credit scrutiny. While the bill includes survivor aid and preparedness measures, the legislative gap on structural liability relief is the dominant, near-term negative for PCG.
