Exelon Corp. stock (ISIN US30161N1019) closed at USD 42.07 on Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, only USD 0.06 above its 52-week low of USD 42.01. The latest analyst snapshot keeps the utility at a consensus Hold rating while quarterly revenue reached USD 5.97 billion.
Analysts see limited conviction
According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, 18 brokerages cover Exelon with four Buy ratings, 13 Hold ratings and one Sell rating. Their average 12-month price target is USD 49.87, which is USD 7.80 above the September 18 closing price.
The range also shows how divided the outlook remains: the highest target is USD 58.00, while the lowest is USD 41.00. Morgan Stanley lowered its target to USD 50.00 and retained an Equal Weight rating, while Truist Financial cut its target to USD 48.00, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026.
Revenue beats while EPS misses
Exelon reported USD 5.97 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with analysts' estimate of USD 5.44 billion, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. Revenue therefore exceeded the estimate by USD 0.53 billion, but earnings per share came in at USD 0.43, one cent below the USD 0.44 consensus and above the USD 0.39 reported in the comparable prior-year period.
Exelon set fiscal-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance at USD 2.81 to USD 2.91. The current analyst estimate of USD 2.86 sits at the midpoint of that range, while the same coverage expects EPS of USD 3.05 in the following year, according to MarketBeat.
Stock remains near yearly low
Nasdaq data cited in the September 18, 2026 snapshot show a closing price of USD 42.07, a regular-session volume of 11.19 million shares and market capitalization of USD 43.43 billion. The 52-week range extends from USD 42.01 to USD 50.65, placing the stock USD 8.58 below its yearly high.
For investors, the contrast is clear: revenue of USD 5.97 billion exceeded the quarterly estimate by USD 0.53 billion, yet the one-cent EPS miss and the target reductions keep the market's assessment restrained. The valuation snapshot shows a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 15.41 based on trailing EPS of USD 2.73.
