FirstEnergy Corp.
FirstEnergy Corporation (FE) is a US-based, primarily regulated electric utility serving customers across the Midwest and Mid‑Atlantic. Its core activities centre on transmission and distribution — the networks that deliver electricity to homes and businesses — and the company’s results are shaped by rate‑setting by state regulators, capital investment in the grid and operational performance. With a market capitalisation of about $27.18bn, FirstEnergy is a mid‑cap utility whose cash flows tend to be steadier than merchant generation businesses, although they remain sensitive to regulatory outcomes, interest rates and large capital programmes. Investors should also note ongoing industry themes such as decarbonisation, ageing infrastructure and governance considerations. This summary provides general educational information only and is not personal financial advice. Values can rise and fall; prospective investors should research further and consider seeking regulated financial advice before making investment decisions.
