# Weekly Recap | Firstenergy this week, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Firstenergy (FE.US) last traded at $46.130, edging lower in the latest session. With no weekly close or weekly change figure available for this period, a direct comparison with the S&P 500’s -0.8% week is not possible. The latest session opened at $46.580, touched a high of $46.580 and a low of $45.890 before settling into a narrow range. Trading looked quiet rather than directional.

## Key Events

The most substantive company-level development this week came on Friday, 11 September, when Firstenergy submitted two filings. It filed a CORRESP document as the filer, and was also listed in an UPLOAD filing as the filed-for entity. Both submissions arrived at 8:00 am, pointing to regulatory correspondence, though the filings do not disclose the specific subject matter. No in-week news items were captured in the feed, suggesting the company did not put out any major operating or financial announcements during the period.

## Analyst Ratings

The latest rating snapshot shows 16 covering institutions, with 5 at buy, 3 at overweight and 8 at hold. No institutions rate the stock underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target price is $53.16667, about 15.25% above the latest price of $46.130. Targets range from $48.000 to $56.000, a reasonably tight dispersion. Within the electric utilities industry, Firstenergy ranks 15 out of 40 by analyst rating.

## The Week Ahead

Next week brings a heavy run of US retail and manufacturing data. On Tuesday 15 September, the New York Fed manufacturing index is due, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a forecast of 14.75. Wednesday 16 September is the busiest day: retail sales excluding autos, import price index, retail sales control, overall retail sales, the NAHB housing market index and EIA crude inventories will all be released. Retail sales carries a prior reading of -0.6 and a forecast of 0.9, so any large deviation could shift sentiment across defensive sectors such as utilities.

## In Short

Price action was narrow this week, and the only company-specific news was a pair of regulatory filings that did not change the fundamental picture. The analyst setup remains tilted positive, with a buy consensus and a target roughly 15.25% above spot, while target dispersion stays modest. That sits alongside a quiet tape, leaving the market without a clear near-term direction. The next test is the macro calendar, particularly whether retail sales validate demand resilience and how utilities fare amid shifting rate and growth expectations.
