Date Expected Symbol Company To Announce PPL PPL Corporation 12/27

PPL - PPL Corporation $44.94 (+3.69)

Even though it is a holiday-shortened week, PPL, the parent holding company for a number of utility, gas and electric firms is having a Board of Directors meeting on Wednesday the 27th of December. The stock has just broken out of a three- month consolidation pattern and is near enough to the last 2:1 split level of $51.00 to warrant keeping an eye out for an announcement. The last announcement in 1992 came out of a BoD meeting as well, so an announcement out of Wednesday's meeting is certainly possible. The company has enough shares authorized to enact another 2:1.
