NWE:NASDAQNorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. analysis

Data as of Sep 20, 2026 - not real-time

Latest price
$68.47
Risk: low
3/10Low risk

Summary

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. trades at $68.47, with its moving averages tangled rather than clearly stacked — a neutral trend structure. Over a rolling month the price has lost 2.6%. Relative strength is 41.9 — neutral — and the MACD signal is bearish. Watch $67.35 as support and $72.35 as the nearer resistance level.
The shares look fair, trading on 24.7 times earnings above a sector average of 18.5. Analyst price targets sit 7.7% above the current price. Revenue is growing at 14.6% on a 10.1% profit margin. The 3.92% dividend yield looks stretched against payout coverage.
The composite risk read is 3/10, putting it in low territory. With 30-day volatility of 18.3%, a beta of 0.08 and a maximum drawdown of 11.0%, the drawdown profile is forgiving relative to most of the market. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 95 on the fear-greed composite.
This one splits by horizon — sell in the near term, hold further out, at 3/10 long-term conviction.
