FirstEnergy: A Defensive Play With Limited Upside
FirstEnergy is a recession-resistant utility stock, benefiting from steady consumer demand and stable revenue, making it a potentially attractive defensive investment. FE stock has been rangebound for a decade, offering neither strong capital appreciation nor significant dividend growth, making it a stable but uninspiring investment compared to other utilities. Despite steady revenue and a safe dividend, the Company's lackluster dividend growth and limited capital appreciation make it less attractive compared to peers like Duke Energy and Consolidated Edison.
