Exelon Corp trades at $43.97 with a market capitalization of $44.4 billion, positioning the company within the middle valuation tier of regulated utility operators. The systematic screening highlights a below-market beta of 0.31, indicating significantly lower volatility compared to broader equity indices—a characteristic typical of regulated transmission and distribution utilities with predictable cash flow profiles.
The company's current price-to-earnings ratio of 15.97 represents a moderate premium to traditional utility sector averages, while the price-to-book ratio of 1.53 reflects investor recognition of franchise value in its regulated operating territories. Net profit margins of 11.21% demonstrate operational efficiency within the capital-intensive utility business model, complemented by a gross margin of 40.43%. Revenue growth of 4.58% year-over-year outpaces inflation-adjusted rate base expansion expectations for many peers.
Key fundamental observations include:
- Return on equity of 9.76% aligns with regulatory-allowed returns in multiple jurisdictions
- Operating margin of 21.05% supports consistent dividend capacity typical of the sector
- Debt-to-equity ratio of 1.74 falls within standard leverage parameters for investment-grade utilities
- Current ratio of 0.92 reflects working capital management common among utilities with predictable billing cycles
The model flags credit considerations given the elevated leverage profile, while the 52-week range of $42.11 to $50.65 indicates current pricing near recent support levels. Relative to peers Duke Energy (DUK), Constellation Energy (CEG), and American Electric Power (AEP), Exelon's geographic concentration in Mid-Atlantic and Midwest markets presents distinct regulatory exposure compared to more geographically diversified operators.
