Dominion Energy stock (ISIN US25746U1097) fell 1.26 percent to USD 60.40 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, leaving the utility 17.25 percent below its 52-week high of USD 72.99. The immediate catalyst was a lower analyst target, while the proposed merger with NextEra Energy remains a second major valuation factor.

Jefferies lowers its target

On September 21, 2026, Jefferies cut its Dominion Energy price target from USD 79 to USD 71 and maintained a Buy rating, according to MarketScreener. The USD 71 target is 17.55 percent above the September 24 price, although the revision itself reduces the target by USD 8.

The broader analyst picture is less one-sided. A September 18 report from Morgan Stanley lowered its target from USD 68 to USD 66 and kept an Equalweight rating, as MarketBeat reported.

Merger approval meets regulatory risk

Dominion shareholders approved the proposed USD 66.8 billion all-stock merger with NextEra Energy, with 671.32 million votes in favor, according to MarketScreener on September 3, 2026. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals, making execution a material counter-factor for the stock.

The market capitalization was USD 53,123,367,320 on September 25, 2026. The latest quote showed 5,034,899 shares traded against average volume of 4,445,830, so the session volume stood 13.25 percent above that average.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Dominion Energy was trading at USD 60.40 on September 24, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 55.85 to USD 72.99. The combination of a 1.26 percent daily decline, a target reduction from Jefferies and the regulatory stage of the merger leaves the stock valuation tied closely to approval progress and analyst expectations.
