Dominion Energy (D) is drawing attention after outlining a capital plan through 2030 that focuses on new generation and transmission to meet rising electricity demand from Virginia data centers and broader load growth.

Against this capital plan backdrop, Dominion Energy’s share price has risen 12.89% over the past 90 days and its 1-year total shareholder return of 27.13% suggests momentum has been building over a longer horizon.

With Dominion Energy trading near its analyst price target and carrying an intrinsic discount estimate that appears sizable, the key question for investors is whether the current valuation still leaves room for upside or if the market is already pricing in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 1.7% Undervalued

Dominion Energy’s most followed valuation narrative pegs fair value at $69.25, which sits slightly above the recent $68.04 close, framing only a modest gap.

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 has to happen for Dominion Energy to line up with that price target? Revenue, margins and future earnings multiples all pull weight in this narrative. The key driver is how much growth those regulated projects are expected to add and what kind of valuation multiple the market might pay for it.

Result: Fair Value of $69.25 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this Dominion Energy narrative still hinges on the smooth delivery of the US$11.4b Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, along with continued regulatory support for recovering rising capital costs.
