PG&E Corporation (PCG): one to watch?

Watch, not buy yet — earnings are genuinely improving but the stock stays cheap because wildfire liability risk is still unresolved.

Down 75% from its all-time high of $70.64 — now $17.54

Why PCG dropped

PCG never "crashed" recently — it collapsed in 2017-2019 when its power lines caused deadly California wildfires, forcing bankruptcy; it has been rebuilding ever since and is now roughly flat over the past year, still 75% below its 2017 peak.
