Dividend coverage (FY2025)

Covered by reported results. In FY2025, WEC's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 74%, operating-cash-flow payout 34%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.

  • Earnings payout74% dividends / net income
  • Operating-cash-flow payout34% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it

Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items.

How WEC Energy Group looks technically

WEC Energy Group (WEC) is trading 6.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 26 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 27, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago. It is 3.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year).

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($99.80 to $103.89) — its "stochastic" reading is 93 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle.

Wave structure

Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $99.80.

This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.

Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a five-part sequence in leg 4, which fails on a close above $105.48.

This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-10-08.
