The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 45.9/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2656 out of 7,333 stocks. D's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
D's quality score of 30/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 11.0% (sector avg: 11.9%), gross margins of 50.0% (sector avg: 55.1%), net margins of 21.3% (sector avg: 10.4%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 40/100, D appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 16.13x, an EV/EBITDA of 7.83x, a P/B ratio of 1.78x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC's investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 29.9% vs. a sector average of 4.0% and a return on assets of 3.1% (sector: 3.5%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
D is currently showing below-average momentum at 47/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 29.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.32 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC earns an excellent stability score of 85/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.32 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 252.00x (sector avg: 1.0x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC's short interest score of 39/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 252.00x). At $52.2B (large-cap), D carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC offers an attractive dividend yield of 4.4%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.5%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC is a large-cap company in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2656 of 7,333 overall (64th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 11.0% trailing the 11.9% sector median and operating margins of 29.8% above the 17.6% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services peers.
While D currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRIC, GAS, AND SANITARY SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate DOMINION ENERGY, INC (D) as a Reduce with a composite score of 45.9/100 at a current price of $63.51. The quantitative profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting limited upside potential and elevated risk of underperformance relative to peers over the next 12 months.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in stability (85th percentile) and momentum (47th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (25th percentile) and quality (30th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (29/100), Medium uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation.
Key items to watch: balance sheet deleveraging progress; sustainability of the current growth rate. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
DOMINION ENERGY, INC holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 45.9/100 places it at rank #2656 in our full 7,333-stock universe. With a $52.2B market capitalization, DOMINION ENERGY, INC operates at meaningful scale within the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, providing competitive advantages in distribution, procurement, and customer reach.
Revenue is growing at 30%, though momentum at the 47th percentile suggests the market has not yet fully recognized this trajectory. This potential disconnect between fundamental improvement and market recognition could represent an opportunity for patient investors if the growth trend persists.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 50% (-5.1pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 30% (+12.3pp vs sector) and net margins of 21.3%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 43%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.
At a current price of $63.51, DOMINION ENERGY, INC is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 40/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 16.1x (roughly in line with the sector median of 16.9x), EV/EBITDA of 7.8x (at a premium), P/B of 1.8x, P/S of 3.4x. The below-sector P/E suggests possible undervaluation or the market pricing in near-term headwinds.
Gross margins of 50% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
Revenue growth of 30% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
A 4.36% dividend yield provides income while you wait, and dividends historically account for a significant portion of total equity returns.
The Reduce rating (composite 45.9/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
Elevated leverage (252% D/E) amplifies downside risk and limits management's financial flexibility in adverse scenarios.
We assign a Medium uncertainty rating to DOMINION ENERGY, INC. The stock presents a balanced risk profile: significant leverage (252% debt-to-equity) and weak quality scores (30th percentile). While not risk-free, the core business fundamentals are adequate to withstand moderate economic stress, and the range of potential outcomes around our fair value estimate is manageable.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: significant leverage (252% debt-to-equity); weak quality scores (30th percentile); low beta of 0.32 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 85th percentile and quality factor at the 30th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 50% provide a buffer against cost pressures; above-average stability (85th percentile) suggests predictable business dynamics; large-cap scale ($52.2B) provides resilience. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate DOMINION ENERGY, INC's capital allocation as Standard. Management has shown adequate — though not exceptional — stewardship of shareholder capital. Returns on equity stand at 11.0%, and the balance sheet is managed within acceptable parameters (D/E: 252%). Exemplary allocators typically sustain ROE above 20% and D/E below 50%; DOMINION ENERGY, INC falls short on at least one dimension.
There is room for improvement in optimizing the capital structure or enhancing shareholder returns. The 4.36% dividend yield provides some income return, but the overall capital allocation framework would benefit from either higher reinvestment returns, improved balance sheet efficiency, or increased shareholder distributions. We will monitor for signs of strategic improvement that could warrant an upgrade.
In summary, DOMINION ENERGY, INC receives a Reduce rating with a composite score of 45.9/100 (rank #2656 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (29/100, trend: stable), Medium uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 46/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on DOMINION ENERGY, INC at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, medium uncertainty, and standard capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.

We do not assign DOMINION ENERGY, INC a meaningful economic moat, scoring 29/100 on our composite assessment. The ROIC-WACC spread of -3.6% is the primary signal of economic value creation. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, margin superiority, reached only 12.7/20.
The strongest moat sources are margin superiority (12.7/20) and growth durability (10.6/20). GM 50% vs sector 55%, OM 30% vs sector 18%. Rev growth 30%, 10yr history. These pillars form the core of DOMINION ENERGY, INC's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (0/20) and economic value creation (2.5/20). Capital turnover 0.10x. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect DOMINION ENERGY, INC's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 50% providing a solid profitability foundation, operating margins of 30% reflecting effective cost management, robust top-line growth of 30% expanding the revenue base. The margin cascade from 50% gross to 30% operating to 21.3% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality raises some durability concerns, with the quality factor at the 30th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 50%, operating margins of 30%, net margins of 21.3%. Return metrics include ROE of 11.0% and ROA of 3.1%. Relative to the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector, gross margins are 5.1 percentage points below the sector median of 55%, and ROE of 11.0% compares to a sector median of 11.9%.
The balance sheet reflects high leverage with D/E of 252%, which may limit financial flexibility, a dividend yield of 4.36%, revenue growth of 30%. The sector median D/E is 1%, putting DOMINION ENERGY, INC at higher leverage than the typical peer. Elevated leverage in combination with the current margin profile warrants close monitoring for any deterioration in debt-servicing capacity.
Below-average quality (30th percentile) raises durability concerns about the fundamental profile and increases the risk of negative earnings surprises.

OpenAI's $1.4 trillion AI infrastructure investment plan is driving massive spending across chip manufacturers, memory producers, and energy providers. The article highlights three companies positioned to benefit: Nvidia dominates AI chip production with 85% market share, Micron Technology is capitalizing on surging DRAM demand with expected 50-55% price increases, and Dominion Energy stands to profit from Virginia's data center boom which now hosts nearly 600 of 3,000 planned U.S. data centers.

Dominion Energy offers AI investors an alternative to volatile tech stocks through a 'pick-and-shovel' strategy. As data center electricity demand is projected to double by 2030, Dominion is positioned to benefit significantly, with 40 gigawatts of new generation capacity under contract for Virginia's 70 planned data centers. The company also provides diversified revenue through electricity and natural gas services across multiple states and renewable energy production.
