Implied volatility has dropped, suggesting an expected daily move of $0.33. The company is set to report earnings on July 31, 2025, with option markets pricing in a 50% probability of a move greater than 3.87% or $0.52.

Wells Fargo & Company has reiterated an "overweight" rating on PCG, setting a target price of $24.00. The average rating for PCG is "Moderate Buy" with a consensus target price of $20.73. Investors are advised to stay updated on the company's dividend performance and payment schedule, as this can significantly impact stock valuation.
