Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what EXC's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. EXC trades near $46.62, above its 50-day average ($45.80) and 200-day average ($45.88). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 62 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. EXC's is $0.99 (~2.1% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month EXC found buyers near $44.15 (support) and sellers near $47.01 (resistance); its 52-week range is $42.23–$50.65. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 1.0× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

7.8%

Revenue moved from $17.94B in 2021 to $24.26B in 2025, a 7.8% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year was roughly flat (4.6%) year over year. Slower, mature growth is common for established businesses.

Profitability
Research

Gross Margin

40.4%

Operating Margin

21.2%

Net Margin

11.2%

ROE

9.8%

Exelon keeps about 11.2% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 40.4% gross margin and 21.2% operating margin. Return on equity is 9.8% and return on invested capital about 5.0%. Margins are moderate — typical of a competitive but profitable business.

Debt Analysis
Research

Total Debt

$49.43B

Net Debt

$48.72B

Net Debt / EBITDA

9.46x

Debt / Equity

1.74x

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 1.7x, and operating profit covers interest about 3.2x, with a current ratio of 0.9x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $49.43B of total debt against $713.00M of cash.

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating CF

$6.25B

Free Cash Flow

FCF Margin

-9.4%

In the latest year Exelon produced about $6.25B of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 12.1% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.

Bull Case

The case for EXC:

  • Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~12.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
  • Pays a 3.6% dividend on top of any price gains.
Bear Case

The case against EXC:

  • Elevated leverage (debt/equity 1.7x) adds financial risk.
  • Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Key Risks
Research

Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 1.7x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the picture is mixed: Exelon is a large-cap utilities business growing at a mature pace, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 17.0x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (47/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
