Dominion Energy (D) is in focus after revising the budget and timeline for its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. The project is now estimated at US$11.5b, with full completion targeted for early 2027.

Those offshore wind revisions come as Dominion Energy’s recent news flow has also included a fresh quarterly dividend declaration and a new environmental stewardship agreement along the W&OD Park. The 1-year total shareholder return of 19.27% and 3-year total shareholder return of 15.84% contrast with more muted recent share price returns, hinting that momentum has cooled but longer term holders have still seen gains.

If you are weighing Dominion Energy alongside other utilities and income ideas, it may also be worth scanning healthcare stocks for different defensively positioned businesses with their own catalysts.

With Dominion Energy shares up 19.27% over 1 year and trading only about 3% below a US$63.50 analyst target, the key question is whether current projects justify further upside or whether the market is already fully reflecting future growth in the price.

Most Popular Narrative: 3.2% Undervalued

Dominion Energy closed at $61.43 versus a widely followed fair value estimate of about $63.44. This frames the current pricing as only slightly below that narrative view.

Large-scale investments in regulated renewables, especially the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, position Dominion to benefit from the accelerating energy transition, earning stable regulated returns and expanding rate base, with a positive impact on long-term earnings.

Curious what sits behind that fair value? Revenue growth, rising margins and a recalibrated future earnings multiple all play a part, but the exact mix may surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of $63.44 (UNDERVALUED)

However, those assumptions can break if CVOW costs climb without full regulatory recovery, or if future rate decisions reduce allowed returns and earnings visibility.

Another Take On Valuation

Our DCF model offers a very different perspective compared with the earnings-based fair value. From this standpoint, Dominion Energy at $61.43 is trading well above an estimated future cash flow value of about $36.91, which appears expensive rather than slightly undervalued. That gap raises a simple question: which measure do you consider more informative, earnings or cash flows?
