Exelon Corp. (US30161N1019) stock closed at USD 42.07 on September 18, 2026, down 1.34 percent, while MarketBeat put the company's market capitalization at USD 43.43 billion and its 52-week range at USD 42.01 to USD 50.65.

Target cut from Morgan Stanley

According to MarketBeat on September 19, 2026, Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on Exelon to USD 50 from USD 53 and kept an Equal Weight rating. The same page shows a consensus target of USD 49.87, which leaves the new Morgan Stanley view almost in line with the broader Street estimate.

Guidance still matters

MarketBeat says Exelon reported earnings per share of USD 0.43 for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of USD 0.44 by USD 0.01, and lists trailing-twelve-month EPS at USD 2.73. The same data set also shows a dividend yield of 3.99 percent, a figure that matters for a utility stock where income often anchors the valuation.

Price near the low end

Exelon traded at USD 42.07 on September 18, 2026, just above the 52-week low of USD 42.01 and well below the 52-week high of USD 50.65. For investors, that makes the gap to the consensus target of USD 49.87 more relevant than the small move of the last session.
