AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I see WEC as a regulated electric and gas utility with a simple, necessary service and a low beta of 0.46, which fits the defensive utility mold. It serves Wisconsin, Illinois and other states, and FairStock calculates an ROE of 11.99% and a 3.69% dividend yield. The growth record is modest: in fiscal year 2025, ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $9.8B and net income was $1.6B, versus revenue of $8.6B and net income of $1.5B in fiscal year 2024, ended 2024-12-31; diluted EPS slipped from $4.83 to $4.81. FairStock's Lynch category is slow grower, based on 5.3% annual profit growth and 6.2% revenue growth over five years. The balance sheet and cash flow give me pause. FairStock reports D/E of 1.58, ROCE of 3.03%, Altman Z-score of 0.82 and a Piotroski F-score of 4/9. Trailing free cash flow is -$1.4B, a -3.8% FCF yield. Utilities can carry debt, but negative free cash flow leaves little room for error. At the 2026-10-26 close of $111.12, FairStock's P/E is 21.58, P/B is 2.66, EV/EBITDA is 13.96 and PEG is 0.98. Its Graham Number is $70.97, putting the price about 56.53% above that conservative anchor. FairStock's score is 49/100. I like the regulated franchise, but the price already pays for steady performance. I would want a wider margin of safety before calling it a bargain.

In plain English: WEC Energy Group sells regulated electricity and natural gas, mainly in Wisconsin and Illinois. The business looks steady and profitable, but it carries a lot of debt and spends more cash than it brings in. At the 2026-10-26 price of $111.12, the shares look expensive compared with several simple value checks and offer a 3.69% dividend.
