What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (42/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- A fairly wide model range ($25.15 to $55.30) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Clearway Energy Inc Class C (CWEN) currently trades at $31.47, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $41.78, implying the stock looks roughly 24.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: the Dividend Discount group reads highest at a median of $44.68 per share, and 4 of the 15 models we run sit above the $31.47 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $10.64, and 11 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Clearway Energy Inc Class C generated revenue of $1.5B at a net margin of 0.6%. Revenue grew 18.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −3.6%. Net debt stands at $9.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $25.15 (bear case) to $55.30 (bull case); at $31.47, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 25% below its 52-week high and 18% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at −12% fair-value upside, at 33%, CWEN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 17 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($44.68) versus Asset-Based ($10.64). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (77).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 43 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 44
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
