FirstEnergy's regulated utilities are focused on accelerating investments that should result in solid earnings growth. The company expects to invest $26 billion through 2028, a 44% increase from the previous five-year capital investment plan. This supports our expectation that the company can achieve the midpoint of management's 6%-8% annual earnings growth target.
FirstEnergy's narrow-moat businesses support operating earnings and roughly $26 billion of investment growth opportunities.
Relationships with Ohio regulators may take years to mend and could pressure returns in that jurisdiction.
