Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $28.1b. 13% off the 52-week high of $155.75. Revenue growing +16%, comfortably above the S&P median. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $159.46 (implying +18% upside).
Moat
ROE 10% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
D/E 2.29 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Free cash flow is negative (-$1.5b) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk.
Horizon
1-3 yr $159.46 (14-analyst consensus) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $278.90 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $498.46 — return distribution heavily skewed.

Analyst estimate revisions

30-day change+0.1%

Forward EPS estimate$8.37

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect DTE to earn is essentially unchanged. The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

DTE Energy Company (DTE): score, valuation & FAQ

DTE Energy Company (DTE) is a Utilities - Regulated Electric company that scores 57.9 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (B+) and P/S (B+), while FCF (F) rate weaker.

Is DTE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores DTE 57.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by Rev (B+) and P/S (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of DTE Energy Company's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does DTE score 57.9 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). DTE earns its highest marks on Rev (B+) and P/S (B+), and is held back by FCF (F). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is DTE overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for DTE — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in DTE?

D/E 2.29 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Free cash flow is negative (-$1.5b) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk.
