As of October 17, 2026, DTE Energy Company scores 4.2 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is DTE Energy Company’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 52 Utilities companies with a published score, that ranks at the 68th percentile, in the better half of its peers. The median across the group is 3.9, and the top quarter begins at 4.4, so DTE Energy Company is in line with the typical company here.
Profitability scores 5.2 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 4.8, so DTE Energy Company is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 63rd percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
On solvency, DTE Energy Company scores 2.0, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 2.9 across 49 Utilities companies, which places it below them, at the 10th percentile. A low reading here is a question about resilience: how long the company could keep paying its obligations if earnings dropped.
Growth scores 5.3 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 47 Utilities companies is 4.9, so DTE Energy Company is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 57th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
DTE Energy Company’s efficiency score is 5.6 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 3.0 among 51 Utilities companies, that is well above the group and the 88th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
DTE Energy Company’s predictability score is 2.8 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 3.5 among 51 Utilities companies, that is below the group and the 38th percentile. A low predictability score often belongs to cyclical businesses, where good and bad years alternate with the economy or with commodity prices.
The gap between DTE Energy Company’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 5.6 against solvency at 2.0, 3.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. When solvency is the soft spot, the question is how much of the cash flow is already spoken for by debt.
Of everything that could lift DTE Energy Company’s score, solvency matters most. Bringing it up to the 2.9 median of Utilities companies would take the overall from 4.2 to roughly 4.4. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and DTE Energy Company has a reading on every pillar.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
