What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of CWEN's valuation, growth and risks.
CWEN's P/E of 38.87 is 70.5% above the 22.8 median for Utilities stocks, so the P/E is a premium to peers. Measured on sales, its P/S of 4.69 is 42.1% above the sector median of 3.3. The company carries a market capitalisation of $7.4B and reported trailing earnings of $0.77 per share.
In the latest year revenue grew 22.70%, 18.6 percentage points faster than the sector median of 4.1%. Margins stand at a net margin of 6.42% and an operating margin of 25.16%. It reports a return on equity of -3.17%, below the sector median of 9.6%. Debt-to-equity of 1.77 and a trailing dividend yield of 6.20% ($1.86 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.
In its most recent report, on August 5, 2026, CWEN reported EPS of $1.15. That result beat the analysts' figure by 74.24%. Shares rose 5.36% in the next session.
CWEN beat the EPS estimate in 3 of its last 8 reports; even so, 1 of those 3 beats was followed by a lower share price the next session. The August 5, 2025 report stands out among the earlier ones: a miss of 65.85%, after which the stock fell 4.40%.
Valuation leaves less margin for error: the P/E of 38.87 is 70.5% above the sector median, a premium to peers. On a typical day the price of CWEN shifts by 1.87%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. The downtrend is itself a risk for as long as the price stays under both moving averages. The price is 28.29% below its 52-week high of $41.74.

CleaRank AI analysis of CWEN
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Clearway Energy Inc. (CWEN) is in a downtrend: the price of $29.93 sits 4.45% below its 50-day average of $31.32 and 16.10% below its 200-day average of $35.67, so both averages are overhead. The price is 4.76% above the 52-week low of $28.57, which places it at 10% of its 52-week range. The 50-day average is 12.19% below the 200-day average, meaning the shorter-term trend is weaker than the longer one.
Every period on the chart shows a loss, with the price down 10.42% over the past three months, 23.53% over the past six months and 7.14% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 45.6, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.

- Two levels are worth tracking most closely. Above the price, the 20-day EMA sits at $30.15. Below it, the 52-week low is $28.57.
- The 14-day RSI reads 45.6, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- In the first session after the August 5, 2026 report, the share price rose 5.36%. Across the record, CWEN has beaten estimates in 3 of the last 8 reports.
The downtrend stays in place while CWEN is below both its 50-day average at $31.32 and its 200-day average at $35.67; a close back above the 50-day would be the first step of a repair. The 20-day EMA at $30.15 is the first hurdle overhead.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low of $28.57.

Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in CWEN, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in CWEN today could grow to about $18,839 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $67,625 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,248. The simulation models price only; at today's 6.20% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
CWEN Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $38.56 for CWEN by 2030 in the base case, from $29.93 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $17.18. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on CWEN's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
