FirstEnergy is a public utility holding company. Co. and its subsidiaries are principally involved in the transmission, distribution and generation of electricity. Co.'s operating segments are: Regulated Distribution, which distributes electricity through Co.'s utility operating companies and controls regulated electric generation capacity located primarily in West Virginia, Virginia and New Jersey; and Regulated Transmission, which provides transmission infrastructure owned and operated by Co.'s transmission companies and certain of Co.'s utilities to transmit electricity from generation sources to distribution facilities. The FE stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the FE stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2014 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the FE annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
