WEC Energy Group's FY 2025 results show revenue of $9.8 billion and EPS of $4.84, with profit growth slowing to 2% and decreasing profit margins. Despite strong profits and a high DCF fair value, its elevated P/E ratio and weak dividend coverage raise concerns about its stability as a utility.

WEC Energy Group (WEC) reported FY 2025 results with revenue of US$9.8b and EPS of US$4.84, showing a 2% profit growth slowing from its five-year average of 5.1%, and profit margins decreasing to 15.9% from 17.8% a year prior. Despite strong absolute profits and a DCF fair value above its current share price, the company’s valuation at 23.3x P/E is higher than peers, while dividend coverage by free cash flow is weak. This combination of slowing profit growth, margin pressure, and weaker dividend coverage challenges the narrative of WEC as a consistently steady utility.
