CWEN stock today, November 12, 2026: price, news and analyst targets

As of November 11, 2026, Clearway Energy Inc. (CWEN) trades at $34.29. Wall Street's median 12-month price target is $40.00 across 14 analysts, 16.7% above the price. CleaRank rates it Hold with a score of 56/100.

Clearway Energy Inc. (CWEN) fell 1.04% in the latest session and sits at $34.29, between its 20-day EMA of $33.02 and its 200-day SMA of $35.55. The stock's direction is set by a mixed trend: it trades 9.60% above its 50-day SMA but 3.53% below its 200-day SMA. The November 9, 2026 earnings report missed the EPS estimate by 73.83%, and the shares moved only 0.14% lower in the next session. Analysts remain constructive, with 13 of 14 rating the stock Buy or Strong Buy, while CleaRank's own rating is Hold.

Earnings miss and a muted reaction

Clearway reported adjusted EPS of $0.56 on November 9, 2026, a miss against the estimate by 73.83%. The shares moved only 0.14% lower in the first session after the report, so the miss did not carry much weight with traders. The August 5, 2026 report beat by 74.24% and was followed by a 5.36% gain, which shows how far the results have swung from quarter to quarter.

Valuation against sector and earnings

The price-to-sales ratio is 4.23, which is 28.2% above the sector median of 3.3. Reported earnings per share over the last 12 months were -$0.81, so the P/E ratio is not meaningful. The company's net profit margin is -4.80%, while its operating margin is 17.10%, and return on equity is -1.97% against a sector median of 9.6%. Debt-to-equity stands at 1.78.

Income and the business

The trailing dividend yield is 5.41%, based on an annual dividend of $1.86 per share. Clearway operates in contracted power generation, and its market value is $7.0B. For an income-oriented holder, the yield is the main attraction, and the earnings record and leverage are the main points to monitor.

CleaRank score 56/100 (Hold). 10 of 18 checks pass: trend 1 of 4, momentum 3 of 3, valuation and quality 1 of 4, analysts 3 of 3, track record 2 of 4.

CWEN price target 2026

The base case is a stock that holds its recent recovery while it works back toward its longer-term averages. The price must reclaim the 200-day SMA at $35.55 to shift the trend fully, and the 52-week high of $41.74 sits above that. The analysts' median 12-month target of $40.00 is 16.7% above the price, with a range from $32.00 to $52.00. Conditions that would improve the picture include a return to positive EPS and a close above the 200-day SMA. Conditions that would worsen it include a break below the 20-day EMA and a fall toward the 52-week low of $28.57. Revenue grew 21.70% in the latest quarter year on year, but reported earnings per share over the last 12 months were -$0.81, so the outlook depends on whether earnings catch up with sales growth.
