Shares of PG&E Corp. (PCG) are falling in Wednesday's
after-hours session, after a judge opened the door to a rival's
chapter 11 plan for the embattled company.
PG&E is also dealing with the impact of having to cut power
to around 800,000 businesses and households in California as it
tries to reduce the threat of wildfires.
At 5:46 p.m. ET, shares of PG&E had lost 19.22%, to trade at
$8.84. Volume in the late session topped 633,000 shares.
The company's shares had finished the day's regular trading
session with a 0.73% gain, to close at $10.98.
A bankruptcy judge in California stripped PG&E of the sole
right to propose a chapter 11 plan, opening the way for a rival
plan backed by bondholders of the utility, including Elliott
Management.
