Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (WEC)

1 of 80 tracked investors hold WEC. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.

Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (WEC)

0 of 2 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).

Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From WEC Energy Group, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-20)

Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)

• The electric fuel rules set by the PSCW generally allow us to defer, for subsequent rate recovery or refund, under- or over-collections of actual fuel and purchased power costs beyond a 2% price variance from the costs included in the rates charged to customers.
• Diversity of natural gas supply enables us to manage significant changes in demand and to optimize our overall natural gas supply and capacity costs.
• The use of LNG allows us to meet anticipated peak demand without requiring the construction of additional interstate pipeline capacity.
• Storage allows us to manage significant changes in daily natural gas demand and to purchase steady levels of natural gas on a year-round basis, which provides a hedge against supply cost volatility.

Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)

• Our operations, capital expenditures, and financial results may be affected by the impact of greenhouse gas legislation, regulation, and our emission reduction goal.
• Changes in tax legislation, IRS audits, or our inability to use certain tax benefits and carryforwards, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as our credit ratings.
• Tax legislation and regulations can adversely affect, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, and credit ratings.
• Future changes to corporate tax rates or policies, including under Treasury Regulations and guidance issued in connection with the IRA and OBBBA, could require us to take material charges against earnings.
