What the filing says
FirstEnergy reported Q2 2026 Core EPS of $0.50 per share (578M shares outstanding) and YTD Core EPS of $1.22, in line with guidance. The company reaffirmed its 2026 Core EPS guidance of $2.62–$2.82 per share and long-term Core EPS CAGR of 6–8% (2026–2030). Notably, contracted data center demand increased 50% to 6.4 GW since Q1 2026, with total demand (pipeline + contracted) reaching 24.8 GW (+30% YoY); West Virginia demand surged 137% to 4.3 GW. The company is deploying $6B in capital investments in 2026 ($2.9B YTD) under its $36B five-year Energize365 program.
Why this rating
Guidance reaffirmation is routine; data center upside (+30% demand) is material but uncontracted pipeline carries execution risk. Modest positive catalyst.
