Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $34.5b. 12% off the 52-week high of $119.91. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $121.79 (implying +15% upside).
Moat
Net margin 17% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Horizon
1-3 yr $121.79 (17-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $178.32 at ~11% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $264.52 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Forward EPS estimate$6.00

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect WEC 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 →
