PG&E closed at $16.61, down 7.44%, after California lawmakers blocked Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to protect utilities from insurers in the event of catastrophic wildfires. The decision increases uncertainty around wildfire-related financial risk transfer for the regulated utility. The stock’s sharp drop suggests investors view the blocked legislation as a negative for near-term fundamentals.
