out of 100
Firstenergy Corp's profile is defined by leverage: it carries high debt (6.98× EBITDA) on thin margins (6.9%), which makes it more sensitive to rates and the cycle. On fundamental quality it scores 39 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 6.98× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
FirstEnergy is the utility of America's eastern industrial valleys: ten distribution companies bringing power to six states between Ohio and New Jersey. After starring in one of the sector's biggest bribery scandals, it reinvented itself as a pure regulated utility on a reputation cure.
