PPL - By The Numbers: PPL Corporation Dividend Unlikely To Hold After Planned Asset Swap

• PPL Corp. is an old-line regulated utility noted for operational excellence, good service, and stakeholder-friendly management.
• In March, a major strategic repositioning was announced. U.K. assets will be sold, and the company will acquire Rhode Island-based Narragansett Electric.
• As with any deal of this magnitude, there are a lot of moving parts. A big question in the minds of many investors: will the outsized dividend get cut?
• While I believe a cut is likely, it doesn't mean PPL is lost. However, it might get rocky for a while.
