Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Interest expenses in second-quarter 2018 summed $226 million compared with $225 million in the year-ago period.
Guidance
PG&E Corp has not provided guidance for 2018 GAAP earnings and adjusted earnings from operations due to the uncertainty related to the Northern California wildfires in October 2017.

Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion.
