The Electric segment manages power generation assets, alongside the transmission and distribution networks that supply electricity to consumers, and actively participates in the wholesale power market.

Each component is a diagnostic reading on its own 0-100 scale. The overall score is computed separately from the underlying financials and is not the average of the rows above — components are not equally weighted and three of them (Momentum, Value, Risk) are derived partly from price rather than from the business.

BUSINESS QUALITY42 / 100IS Score 41.9 / 100 · +0.0 from peak of 42

Fundamental factor model, quarterly. Measures how the business is doing - not where the price is going.

PRICE STRUCTUREBULLISHTechnical Score 77 / 100 · Power +54 · 18 of 22 indicator votes bullish

Vote share across trend, momentum, volume, volatility and pattern families. Describes where the price is, not where it is going.

These two disagree — business quality 42, price structure 77 out of 100, so the price reads better than the business does. We publish the disagreement rather than resolving it: they answer different questions, and the gap between them is information, not an error.

Trigger	Where it stands now	What it would mean
IS Score reaches 55 and holds two consecutive quarters	now 41.9	would move us up one band
IS Score stops falling - one quarter higher than the prior	last four: 37 → 35 → 39 → 42	the direction matters more than the level
Technical vote share back above 50%	now 82%	price structure no longer broken
Institutional holder count rises two quarters running	peak 873 → now 873	fewer institutions willing to hold is our clearest warning

We publish these so the view can be shown to be wrong. If none of them move and our reading does, we owe you an explanation.

How to read ownership above 100%. A 13F reports the positions a manager has investment discretion over, and where two or more managers share discretion over the same block, each one reports it. Summed across filers, the total can therefore exceed the shares actually outstanding without anything being wrong. We publish the figure as filed rather than netting it down, and flag separately any quarter where the arithmetic is not merely high but impossible.

Why 2026-06 reads 106.94%. Institutions cannot hold more of a company than exists. The reported 702.6M shares exceed the 657.0M outstanding, and a single filer accounts for the excess: Capital Research Global Investors reports 71,382,073 shares against 72,275,884 the prior quarter, a 1x jump, which alone would be 10.9% of the company. Excluding that filing, ownership is 96.1%. We publish both figures. 13F filings are due 45 days after quarter end and amendments keep arriving after that, so the newest quarter is provisional by construction - this is what an unsettled quarter looks like.

Why 2026-03 reads 100.65%. Institutions cannot hold more of a company than exists. The reported 661.3M shares exceed the 657.0M outstanding, and a single filer accounts for the excess: Capital Research Global Investors reports 72,275,884 shares against 20,941,909 the prior quarter, a 3x jump, which alone would be 11.0% of the company. Excluding that filing, ownership is 89.6%. We publish both figures. 13F filings are due 45 days after quarter end and amendments keep arriving after that, so the newest quarter is provisional by construction - this is what an unsettled quarter looks like.

Shown instead of the usual cash-distribution diagram because operating cash flow was not positive this year — there was no internally generated cash to distribute, so the decision-relevant question is what funded the spending. Sources left, uses right; cash is fungible and the statement does not trace which rupee of borrowing bought which asset, so the band is proportional, not a claim about specific flows. Any residual from FX translation is carried explicitly as Other / FX.

Method. Every figure in this factsheet is looked up from a named field computed in code. It contains no model-written text.

Not covered. Short interest as a percent of float and days-to-cover are not in this data set — the short-sale figures above are FINRA volume, a flow, and cannot support squeeze or covering analysis. Options positioning and intraday data are also absent. 13F ownership is filed 45 days after quarter end and congressional trades are disclosed on a lag, so both describe a past position, not a current one.
