What Exelon does

Regulated electric and gas transmission-and-distribution utility holding company covering Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland and other mid-Atlantic states.

Earns allowed returns set by state commissions on its wires and pipes, with no power plants of its own after the 2022 spin-off of Constellation, so it no longer carries exposure to wholesale power prices. Illinois's ComEd and Pennsylvania's PECO sit alongside BGE, Pepco and its sister utilities.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
