Exelon Corp. stock (ISIN: US30161N1019) opened at $43.96 on August 27, 2026, after a 1.08% decline, and the company carries a $45.38 billion market cap. The latest quarter brought $5.97 billion in revenue and $0.43 in EPS, both dated July 30, 2026.
Analysts stay cautious
Consensus remains at Hold across 18 ratings firms, with 13 Hold calls, 4 Buy ratings and 1 Sell rating. The average 12-month price objective stands at $50.0667, while Exelon also guided FY 2026 EPS to 2.810-2.910.
The comparison matters: quarterly revenue rose 10.0% year over year, yet EPS of $0.43 missed the $0.44 consensus by $0.01. That split keeps the market focused on execution rather than headline growth.
Balance sheet and yield
The stock's 52-week range is $42.58 to $50.65, and its trailing P/E sits at 16.11. Yield was 3.82% on August 27, 2026, with the next dividend set at $0.42 on September 15, 2026.
Short interest as of August 14, 2026 was 32.15 million shares, or 3.12% of float. That is a useful reminder that the name still attracts hedged positioning even after the July quarter.
