Portland General Electric Co (POR) Dividend Safety Gauge & 10-Year DRIP Compounder

Per the Roarable RQD rating, POR scores 39 out of 100 with a letter grade of D- and a verdict of "Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow." The fundamental cash engine pillar scores 9 of 20, reflecting an ROIC of 6.1% and an FCF yield of -1.37%; for a prospective investor, the negative FCF yield means the company is not currently generating free cash flow in excess of its capital needs, so shareholder returns depend on external funding or balance-sheet capacity rather than internally generated cash. The whale 13F flow pillar scores 5 of 20, indicating weak institutional accumulation and options positioning signals. The insider conviction pillar scores 9 of 20 based on SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow. The macro regime fit pillar scores 6 of 20, with a beta of 0.69 indicating lower market sensitivity than the broader market, though the rating notes sector sensitivity as a constraint. The forensic balance sheet pillar scores 10 of 20, combining an Altman Z-Score of 0.94, a Piotroski F-Score of 5 out of 9, and a Debt/Equity ratio of 1.13. Taken together, the rating frames POR as a stock where the valuation discount (forward P/E of 11.2, EV/EBITDA of 5.3) and the 4.33% dividend yield are offset by weak cash generation and a financially stretched balance sheet. Upside drivers would need to come from improving free cash flow conversion and balance-sheet repair; valuation alone does not resolve the cash and leverage concerns captured in the rating.

Per the SEC financials, revenue rose from $2923.0M (FY 2023) to $3576.0M (FY 2025), and operating income rose from $396.0M to $555.0M over the same span. Reported net income is $0.0M in each period and EPS is N/A, so profitability at the net line cannot be assessed from these figures. Market data shows an operating margin of 15.5%, a net margin of 12.1%, and ROIC of 6.1%; the gross margin is listed as 0%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 0.94, the Piotroski F-Score is 5 out of 9, and Debt/Equity is 1.13. Debt rose from $820.8M (FY 2023) to $4662.0M (FY 2025), and free cash flow was negative in FY 2024 and FY 2025, so balance-sheet posture is weakened by rising leverage alongside negative cash generation.
