Exelon Corp. (ISIN US30161N1019) closed at USD 41.94 on the Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, up 0.33 percent from the previous close of USD 41.80. The utility stock remains USD 0.22 above its 52-week low of USD 41.72 and USD 8.71 below its 52-week high of USD 50.65.

Argus lowers its price target

According to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026, Argus Research maintained its Buy rating but lowered the Exelon price target from USD 52 to USD 49. The USD 3 reduction leaves the new target USD 7.06 above the September 22 closing price.

The adjustment provides the clearest current counter-factor for the shares: the rating stayed positive, but the target was reduced by 5.8 percent from the previous level. A separate report from Ad Hoc News dated September 23, 2026, attributed the target reduction to interest-rate pressure affecting the utility sector.

Second quarter delivered USD 5.97 billion

Exelon's Q2 fiscal 2026 figures were revenue of USD 5.97 billion and earnings of USD 396 million, according to Yahoo Finance data dated September 22, 2026. The reported profit margin was 6.64 percent for that quarter.

Exelon also posted Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings of USD 0.43 per share against an estimate of USD 0.45, a shortfall of USD 0.02 per share. That comparison matters because it combines a large quarterly revenue base with earnings below the cited estimate, while the stock trades close to its 52-week low.
