WEC Energy Stock In Shambles: Down -7.8% With 10-Day Losing Streak
WEC Energy (WEC) stock hit day 10 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -7.8% return. The company has lost about $3.1 Bil in value over the last 10 days, with its current market capitalization at about $37 Bil. The stock remains 13.8% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 17.3% for the S&P 500.
WEC Energy’s recent move reflects analyst caution, with J.P. Morgan lowering its price target to $113. This overshadowed the planned 6.7% dividend increase and solid data center-driven growth, suggesting investors are weighing competitive pressures and evolving utility sector valuations.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There is a near-equal mix of good and bad in WEC stock given its overall Moderate operating performance and financial condition. Hence, despite its Moderate valuation, this makes the stock look Risky (see Buy or Sell WEC).
For quick background, WEC provides regulated natural gas, electricity, renewable energy, and nonregulated energy services across multiple U.S. segments, operating extensive electric distribution and transmission infrastructure.
