Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

FirstEnergy reported second quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $288 million, or $0.50 per share, up from $268 million, or $0.46 per share, a year earlier, on revenue of $3.7 billion. Core Earnings, its non-GAAP measure, were $0.50 per share, down from $0.52 in the second quarter of 2025, and the company reaffirmed its 2026 Core EPS guidance range of $2.62 to $2.82 per share, so shareholders see higher GAAP profit and an unchanged outlook alongside a slight decline in the core per-share figure.
