FirstEnergy stock (ISIN US3377381088) closed at USD 45.83 on September 14, 2026, after a 0.65 percent decline from the prior session's USD 46.13. The shares ended the session with a USD 45.44 to USD 46.43 range, which keeps the mid-40 dollar zone in view for investors.
Guidance still matters
According to ad hoc news, FirstEnergy said on July 28, 2026 that second-quarter revenue reached USD 3.7 billion, above the FactSet consensus of USD 3.51 billion. The same report said adjusted EPS guidance for 2026 stayed at USD 2.62 to USD 2.82, while consensus stood at USD 2.73.
That mix gives the stock a clear frame: revenue beat estimates by USD 0.19 billion, but the guidance band still brackets the market view. According to MarketBeat, Morgan Stanley cut its price target to USD 49.00 from USD 52.00 on September 18, 2026 and kept an overweight rating.
Analysts stay active
MarketBeat also said Barclays lowered its target to USD 54.00 from USD 55.00 on July 31, 2026 and kept an overweight rating, while UBS lifted its target to USD 51.00 from USD 50.00 on June 11, 2026 and kept a neutral view. The same MarketBeat page said the Street consensus target was USD 52.58, above the September 14 close by USD 6.75.
Price and next step
FirstEnergy stock traded at USD 45.83 on September 14, 2026, with the session range at USD 45.44 to USD 46.43 and the prior close at USD 46.13. The MarketBeat consensus target of USD 52.58 and the Morgan Stanley cut to USD 49.00 point to a market that still prices in some upside, but not a broad rerating.
