  • EXC
    Exelon Corporatio
  • $46.81
  • +0.91%
  • $46.38

The Chicago based electric utility company announced on Tuesday it would buyback up to $1.25 billion of its outstanding common stock. The company expects to repurchase the shares within the next six months. Exelon recently reported excellent second-quarter earnings, boasting a 9% jump in profit margins. The company saw net income increase to $702 million, or $1.03 a share, from $644 million, or 95 cents a share in the same quarter last year. Revenue rose to $4.5 billion from $3.7 billion, shattering the street's expectations for $4.16 billion. The company credited the impressive results to higher margin in energy sales and favorable weather conditions. The nation's largest nuclear power company also revised its 2007 earnings forecast. Exelon now anticipates earnings in the range of $4.15 to $4.30 a share, from the previous estimate of $4.00 to $4.30. “We have robust cash flows and an increasingly strong balance sheet,” said chairman, president and CEO John W. Rowe. “We remain committed to returning cash to shareholders through our value return policy, while maintaining appropriate financial flexibility to make sound investments in our businesses and take advantage of opportunities that may arise.” On top of the buyback program, Deutsche Bank reiterated its buy rating and $91 price target. They believe the $1.25 billion buyback, though in line with their $1.3 billion model, surpassed market expectations. Another positive note is Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich finally signed the $1 billion relief package for EXC and other generators in the state. The event should alleviate political turmoil in IL and allow EXC to go forward with its nuclear fleet. Deutsche Bank states, “We believe that the recent pullback presents a compelling buying opportunity in a high-quality, critical portfolio of nuclear generation assets at an attractive valuation close to 7.0x adjusted EBITDA.”
