Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Exelon Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $2 to $48, 16.8x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $2.88, slightly above its five-year average of 16.4x. We lower our 2026 EPS view by $0.08 to $2.85 and lower 2027 EPS by $0.06 to $3.04. In our opinion, EXC now faces significant regulatory headwinds in Pennsylvania and Maryland. PECO's withdrawal of its rate case in April 2026 amid affordability concerns and Governor scrutiny creates uncertainty around timing and terms of future Pennsylvania filings, while Maryland's Utility RELIEF Act (awaiting Governor signature) prohibits forecast test years until April 2027 and constrains ratemaking tools for BGE, Pepco, and DPL. Despite these headwinds, EXC maintained its long-term (2025-2029) EPS growth guidance range of 5%-7% and expects to deliver near the top end of that range. From 2025 to 2028, we project EPS growth at a 5.6% CAGR, slightly below the midpoint of the range and below our expectations for peers, while we anticipate dividend growth close to a 5.1% CAGR, closer to peers.

Exelon Q1 Expands Capex Plan, Transmission Pipeline Grows

Exelon (EXC) posted Q1 utility earnings Wednesday, while expanding its capital investment plans for 2026-2029.Exelon's capex plans include investments of about $41.7 billion over 2026-2029, with a growing share allocated to transmission, alongside an additional $12-17 billion in potential transmission upside.The revised capital plan reflects a 7.9% target rate base growth annually.Exelon outlined a data center-driven growth pipeline of about 18-19 GW of potential load, with about 45% already secured with Transmission Service Agreements as of the Q4 2025 call.The company said it operates 11,197 transmission lines, including about 3,300 circuit miles of extra high-voltage line.On project activity, Exelon said the PJM board approved about $1.7 billion in partnered projects under the 2025 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan Window 1 process.The company also submitted two partnered bids in MISO's Long Range Transmission Planning Tranche 2.1, targeting roughly $1.9 billion in transmission projects in Illinois.The US-regulated electric and gas utility operator said Q1 utility earnings strengthened overall, supported by approved distribution and transmission rate increases at subsidiaries, Commonwealth Edison and Pepco, as well as distribution rate approvals at Baltimore Gas and Electric.Additional tailwinds included the absence of prior customer surcharge credits at PECO Energy, higher allowance for funds used during construction at ComEd, and favorable weather conditions and lower income taxes at PECO.The company noted that recent rate increases reflect updated cost-recovery mechanisms tied to infrastructure investment, which it said support reliability and help reduce outage-related costs.Price: $45.93, Change: $-0.25, Percent Change: -0.54%

Exelon Seen Offsetting PECO Rate Case Withdrawal Impact Over Time, RBC Says

Exelon (EXC) will eventually be able to offset the negative impact on revenue of the withdrawal of rate cases by its Pennsylvania-based energy utility subsidiary PECO, RBC Capital Markets said.The subsidiary withdrew its electric and gas rate cases with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, which were requests for a $429 million electric revenue increase and an $81 million gas increase, the brokerage said in a Friday note.They estimate that PECO will miss about $130 million to $200 million in incremental revenue, translating to a negative impact of about $0.09 to $0.14 on earnings per share in 2027.Exelon will be able to mitigate the drag through new rate hike requests, managing operations and maintenance costs, and an accelerated capital plan company-wide.The investment firm noted that Exelon maintained its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.81 to $2.91 and expressed confidence in its ability to achieve the high end of its annual EPS growth target of 5% to 7% through 2029.BC maintained its sector-perform rating on the stock and lowered its price target to $48 from $51.Price: $47.18, Change: $+0.15, Percent Change: +0.33%
