Firstenergy Corp (FE) reported $15.5B in revenue over the twelve months to Mar 31, 2026, up 11.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Capital investment is absorbing operating cash while leverage rises, making reinvestment—not reported earnings—the dominant financing mechanic.
FY2025 operating cash flow reached$3.7B , well above reported net income, so accounting earnings did convert into operating cash rather than remaining purely accrual-based. Yet capital expenditures were$4.7B , leaving free cash flow at-$1.0B ; this separates earnings conversion from cash available after reinvestment and explains why positive profits do not by themselves fund the capital program.
FY2025 revenue reached
Debt-to-equity rose to 2.0x in FY2025 from 1.8x in FY2024, reversing the prior year's deleveraging signal and placing more weight on creditors in the capital structure. With a 0.6x current ratio, short-term obligations exceed current assets, leaving limited near-term balance-sheet flexibility while reinvestment remains elevated.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Firstenergy Corp's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.
Firstenergy Corp has an operating margin of 14.6%, meaning the company retains $15 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 45/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 17.6% the prior year.
Firstenergy Corp's revenue grew 12.0% year-over-year to $15.1B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 75/100.
Firstenergy Corp has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 2.04), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 9/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Firstenergy Corp's current ratio of 0.57 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 20/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.
While Firstenergy Corp generated $3.7B in operating cash flow, capex of $4.7B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.0B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 52/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Firstenergy Corp's ROE of 8.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 55/100. This is up from 7.8% the prior year.
Firstenergy Corp scores 0.74, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($26.9B) relative to total liabilities ($42.0B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.
Firstenergy Corp passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Firstenergy Corp generates $3.63 in operating cash flow ($3.7B OCF vs $1.0B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Firstenergy Corp earns $1.81 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($2.2B vs $1.2B). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
