PG&E stock gains 38% as bankruptcy fears ease
PG&E Corp. shares were poised to break a six-straight string of losses, rising nearly 40% Friday. The stock's climb came after California's Public Utilities Commission President Michael Picker late Thursday was quoted as saying it was not "good policy" to allow the company, facing potential liability from wildfires, to go bankrupt. PG&E shares closed at a 15-year low on Thursday. Friday gains brought weekly losses to 38%. The stock is down 46% this year, contrasting with gains of 2% for the S&P 500 index . PG&E, which owns Pacific Gas & Electric Co., said earlier this week some of its equipment could be involved in a massive fire still raging in Northern California. The death toll of the so-called Camp Fire has risen to at least 63 people, and the fire is 45% contained.
