Despite beating expectations with Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.42 and revenue of $2.54 billion, WEC Energy shares fell 1.2% on Feb. 5. Investors focused on the sharp year-over-year decline in GAAP earnings, which dropped to $316.6 million ($0.97 per share) from $453.5 million ($1.43 per share) in Q4 2024 due to the Illinois settlement charge.

For the fiscal year ending in December 2026, analysts expect WEC’s adjusted EPS to grow 6.3% year-over-year to $5.60. The company’s earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.

Among the 19 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on eight “Strong Buy” ratings, 10 “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.”

On Feb. 10, TD Cowen analyst Shelby Tucker reiterated a “Hold” rating on WEC Energy Group and maintained a price target of $125.

The mean price target of $121.26 represents a premium of 7.4% to WEC’s current levels. The Street-high price target of $140 implies a potential upside of nearly 24% from the current price levels.
