PPL Corp is a good buy right now due to its current price of $35.17, which is below the average analyst price target of $41.67 (averaging targets from Barclays, Scotiabank, and Wells Fargo). The RSI of 81.645 indicates strong momentum, suggesting that the stock is currently in a bullish trend. However, the main risk is the recent downgrade by Barclays, which lowered its price target from $41 to $38, indicating some caution in the market.
