PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG) is one of the most profitable value stocks to buy according to analysts. On July 15, PG&E announced that it achieved a 42% reduction in methane emissions from its gas pipeline system in 2024, which surpassed its initial commitment.

In 2017, the California Public Utilities Commission/CPUC and the California Air Resources Board/CAR directed PG&E to achieve a 20% methane emissions reduction below 2015 baseline levels by 2025. By outperforming, PG&E set a new target to achieve a 45% reduction by 2030.
