Published on 10/01/2026 at 09:20 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
FirstEnergy Corp. (ISIN US3377381088) was trading at EUR 40.23 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 9:12 a.m. CEST, plus 0.58 percent versus the prior close of EUR 40.00. On September 29, 2026, the company declared a quarterly dividend of 46.5 cents per share payable December 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 6, 2026, according to PR Newswire. The payout gives the utility a current shareholder-return angle while its operating results show a stronger transmission business.
Dividend arrives before earnings
The 46.5-cent quarterly payment equals USD 1.86 on an annualized basis. The board set December 1, 2026, as the payment date and November 6, 2026, as the record date, making the declaration the latest dated corporate event for FirstEnergy stock.
FirstEnergy serves more than 6 million customers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and New York. Its transmission subsidiaries operate approximately 24,000 miles of transmission lines, according to PR Newswire.
Revenue growth outpaces core earnings
In the second quarter of 2026, revenue rose 8.80 percent year over year to USD 3.68 billion, while GAAP net income increased 7.50 percent to USD 288.0 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share reached USD 0.50, up from USD 0.46 in the second quarter of 2025, according to Financial Report Insights.
The more revealing comparison is adjusted Core earnings per share, which fell to USD 0.50 from USD 0.52 in the year-ago quarter. Transmission revenue rose 22.10 percent to USD 686.0 million, but milder weather, planned maintenance and higher financing costs weighed on distribution performance.
Analysts and the next report
Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating on September 18, 2026, while lowering its price target from USD 52.00 to USD 49.00, according to Yahoo Finance. The revised target is 13.64 percent above the Lang & Schwarz euro quote only in numerical appearance; the currencies differ, so no cross-currency upside calculation is used here.
FirstEnergy is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 21, 2026, according to MarketBeat. That report will test whether transmission gains can offset the softer distribution trend while management continues funding its regulated grid investment program.
Stock remains below its yearly high
FirstEnergy stock had a USD 42.67 to USD 52.34 52-week range and a USD 25.1 billion market capitalization as of September 30, 2026. The range and valuation are primary-exchange figures from the NYSE context, while the reference quotation for German readers remains the separate EUR 40.23 Lang & Schwarz price.
