Several institutional investors have recently shown interest in DTE Energy. Dynamic Technology Lab Private Ltd acquired 4,101 shares of DTE Energy valued at approximately $567,000 in the first quarter of 2025 [1]. Additionally, D. E. Shaw & Co. increased its stake by 1,064.5%, purchasing an additional 83,799 shares valued at $11,069,000 [1]. These investments indicate growing confidence in DTE Energy's long-term prospects.
Despite the recent buying activity, DTE Energy's stock has faced some headwinds. The company reported a quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $1.36, slightly missing the consensus estimate of $1.37.
