Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on FirstEnergy, Raises Price Target to $48

FirstEnergy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FE#NYSE">FE</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.63% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 12.80 million shares sold short, which is 2.96% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>FirstEnergy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746558043_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for FirstEnergy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing FirstEnergy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, FirstEnergy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.47%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Do Investors Really Feel About FirstEnergy?

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Rubrik (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBRK#NYSE">RBRK</a>), which recently named Kavitha Mariappan as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RBRK">Chief Transformation Officer</a>.
When asked about Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>), he said, &#8220;I think if you want to put a small position on LULU you can do it now.&#8221;

The Mad Money host said FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FE#NYSE">FE</a>) is not a &#8220;great energy company. But, you know what, it sells at a little bit cheaper than the others, and I think it's a buy.&#8221;

Wall Street Rally Extends Into Third Day: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

FirstEnergy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FE#NYSE">FE</a>) affirms FY2025 Adj EPS guidance from $2.40-$2.60 to $2.40-$2.60 vs $2.54 analyst estimate..

Guidance

FirstEnergy Affirms FY2025 Adj EPS Guidance of $2.40-$2.60 vs $2.54 Est

FirstEnergy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FE#NYSE">FE</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.67 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.59 by 13.56 percent. This is a 21.82 percent increase over earnings of $0.55 per share from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly sales of $3.77 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.51 billion by 7.25 percent. This is a 14.54 percent increase over sales of $3.29 billion the same period last year.

Earnings

Earnings Beats

FirstEnergy Q1 Adj. EPS $0.67 Beats $0.59 Estimate, Sales $3.77B Beat $3.51B Estimate

BofA Securities analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith upgraded the shares of FirstEnergy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FE#NYSE">FE</a>) from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FE/analyst-ratings">Underperform to Neutral rating </a>and raised the price forecast from $42 to $45.
Ohio is nearing a new regulatory framework that could present short-term transition risks but may benefit FE's regulated business long-term, said the analyst. 
The proposed legislation simplifies rate-setting, moving away from the legacy electric security plan and introducing forward test years with annual adjustments. 
This shift leaves Ohio earnings dependent on a single rate case over three years, increasing event risk. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania's H.B. 1272, introduced on April 21, could allow regulated utility ownership of generation assets, though it has a low likelihood of passing.

Ohio&#8217;s S.B. 2 and H.B. 15 propose significant changes to ratemaking, offering benefits like forward-looking test years and eliminating complex riders. 
However, FE may be restricted from raising rates until 2027. Even in the worst-case scenario, where rates remain frozen, the impact on EPS would be a manageable $0.05 shortfall. 
This can be offset by over $150 million in capex optimization and effective O&amp;M execution, enabling FE to maintain its guidance, noted the analyst.
The updated $2.66 EPS estimate for 2026 results in a 7% discount to the electric/gas peer group average P/E, reflecting Ohio regulatory risk and a weaker balance sheet. The price forecast is raised incorporating a 20% discount for Ohio distribution earnings due to regulatory risk. 
The sum of the parts valuation includes a 5% premium for Pennsylvania distribution, a 5% discount for New Jersey integrated, a 20% discount for West Virginia/Maryland integrated, and a 20% premium for standalone FERC transmission.
According to the analyst, the stock is expected to trade at a 5%-10% discount until Ohio&#8217;s rate case is resolved, but lower operating earnings and a focus on pension and coal earnings are seen as a positive adjustment.
Despite recent underperformance, FE has potential upside through capex optimization, PJM transmission development, and datacenter integration. The transition in Ohio is manageable, and the company remains on track to meet guidance.
Price Action: FE shares traded lower by 0.2% at $42.57 on Wednesday.

Why One Analyst Thinks FirstEnergy's Ohio Challenges Aren't As Bad As They Look

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.
