MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

WEC Energy Group
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in WEC Energy Group, Inc.:

WEC Energy Group, Inc. has received multiple upgrades from analysts, with a recent price target increase to $129.00, indicating strong market confidence in the company's future performance.
The current stock price is around $111, which reflects a solid position for potential growth, especially given the recent positive ratings from various analysts.
The company has a consistent dividend payout, with an annualized dividend of $3.57, providing a yield of 3.2%, which can be attractive for income-focused investors.
WEC Energy Group, Inc. has a diverse portfolio, providing regulated natural gas and electricity, as well as renewable energy services, positioning it well in the growing energy sector.
Recent ratings show a consensus of "Hold" among analysts, suggesting that while there may not be immediate explosive growth, the stock is considered stable and reliable.

WEC Energy Group
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in WEC Energy Group, Inc. for these reasons:

Goldman Sachs recently downgraded WEC Energy Group, Inc. from a "neutral" to a "sell" rating, which may indicate concerns about the company's short-term performance.
Insider selling has been noted, with significant shares sold by both a director and the CEO, which could signal a lack of confidence in the company's immediate future.
The payout ratio is currently at 68.39%, which, while manageable, suggests that a significant portion of earnings is being distributed as dividends, potentially limiting reinvestment in growth opportunities.
Despite a generally positive outlook, the consensus price target is lower than some recent analyst upgrades, indicating a potential disconnect between market expectations and analyst predictions.
With five analysts rating the stock as "Hold" and one as "Sell," there may be a lack of strong bullish sentiment, which could limit upward momentum in the stock price.
