FirstEnergy Corp. (ISIN US3377381088) stock was last at USD 43.30 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, at 3:59 p.m. ET, up 0.27 percent from the prior close. The price stood USD 0.47 above its 52-week low of USD 42.83, making the utility's earnings outlook and analyst targets the key reference points for investors.

Revenue beats the consensus

FirstEnergy reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 3.68 billion against consensus of USD 3.51 billion, while quarterly earnings per share came in at USD 0.50 against consensus of USD 0.50, according to MarketBeat on September 26, 2026, citing the July 28 results. The revenue comparison represents a USD 0.17 billion beat, while EPS matched expectations.

The operating picture also carries a substantial investment commitment. Yahoo Finance reported on September 16, 2026, that FirstEnergy reaffirmed 2026 Core EPS guidance of USD 2.62-2.82 and a USD 6.0 billion capital investment plan. Through the first half, the company had deployed USD 2.9 billion, up 19 percent from the comparable 2025 period.

Analyst target stays above the price

MarketBeat reported on September 26, 2026, that 13 analysts held a Moderate Buy consensus, with seven Buy ratings and six Holds. The average 12-month target was USD 52.58, which places the target 21.48 percent above the USD 43.30 reference price.

The analyst picture is not uniformly higher. According to MarketBeat, Morgan Stanley cut its target from USD 52.00 to USD 49.00 on September 18, 2026, while retaining an Overweight rating. That target remains USD 5.70 above the September 25 price, so valuation and execution remain central to the debate.
