The business, in plain English

OGE ENERGY CORP. booked $3.2B of revenue in FY2025 in the Utilities sector and kept 60.5% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 14.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue shrank from $4.1B (FY2008) to $3.2B (FY2025) — about −1.4% a year compounded over 17 years.

It earned 6.3% on invested capital in FY2025, with a median of 6.3% across 18 filed years. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 5/100.

The balance sheet carried $5.7B of total debt in FY2025 against $470.7M of owner earnings — roughly 12.0 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 2/100.

The share count rose 212474126.8% between FY2009 and FY2025 — existing owners have been diluted over the record. Capital Discipline scores it 44/100.

Put together: Pricing Power is the strongest of the four filters (86/100) and Balance-Sheet Safety the weakest (2/100), which is how OGE lands at 37/100 — a None moat.
