How to read this page
The big number above is PEG's BEACON composite — a 0-100 sector-relative score blending three factors: Value (40%), Quality (35%), and Momentum (25%). A score of 70+ means PEG ranks well against its Utilities peers on most factors. The current macro regime is then overlaid to produce the regime-adjusted score lower on this page.
Every metric on this page is computed against Utilities peers, not the whole market. A "cheap" P/E in tech isn't the same as a "cheap" P/E in utilities. Read the full methodology →
Quality 35%
How healthy is the underlying business? Higher gross margin, ROE, and FCF yield (and lower debt) earn higher Quality scores.

Momentum 25%

PEG vs Utilities Median
Each row compares PEG to the median stock in the Utilities sector. ▲ Better means PEG is better positioned than the sector median for that metric (cheaper for valuation metrics, healthier for quality metrics). ▼ Worse means the opposite. Tiny differences (within 2%) are shown as In line.

Regime Fit
The current macro regime favors some sectors and pressures others. BEACON multiplies PEG's raw score by a sector-specific multiplier to produce its regime-adjusted score. The regime contribution below is how many score points the overlay added (or subtracted) for this stock.
