National Grid against its own history

Each figure in the latest fiscal year against the same figure from FY2022 to FY2026: the range, its median (the line) and the latest (the dot, green on the good side of the median). The P/E is today's against its daily readings of five years.

Its peers: Duke Energy, The Southern, American Electric Power Company, Dominion Energy, Entergy, and Xcel Energy, the US Regulated Electric companies closest to it in size, each in its own latest fiscal year: their median (the line) and its rank among them, first being the best.
