Share price −4.9% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 48% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($31.42). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (40/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range ($12.39 to $31.42) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
FirstEnergy Corp (FE) currently trades at $46.84, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $24.17, implying the stock looks roughly 48.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, FirstEnergy Corp generated revenue of $15.3B at a net margin of 6.9%. Revenue grew 11.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.5%. Net debt stands at $27.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.39 (bear case) to $31.42 (bull case); at $46.84, the current price sits above 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 10% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at -48%, FE screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.
All 14 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($29.98) versus Earnings-Based ($4.97). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
