What the Analysts think about AEP
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for American Electric Power stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
AEP exceeded second-quarter earnings estimates with adjusted EPS of $1.43 versus a $1.27 consensus, helped by regulatory rate hikes tied to infrastructure spending, and maintained full-year EPS guidance of $5.75–$5.95. (Reuters)
In the first quarter, AEP posted adjusted EPS of $1.54, beating the $1.40 estimate thanks to a 12.3% jump in commercial demand driven by data center growth, and raised its five-year capital plan from $54 billion to $64 billion. (Reuters)
AEP introduced a new five-year capital investment plan of about $70 billion to meet the power demand surge from AI and data centers—expanding its regulated asset base and supporting future rate cases. (Reuters)
AEP’s 42% coal-fired capacity faces structural challenges as U.S. coal generation capacity has dropped 43% since 2010—now at its lowest level since at least 2000—while cheaper and faster-deploying renewables like wind and solar threaten the viability of AEP’s coal assets. (Reuters)
Forthcoming EPA “Good Neighbor” air pollution rules could impose up to $910 million in yearly compliance costs for coal-dependent utilities, potentially requiring additional scrubbers or plant shutdowns and raising AEP’s operating and capital expenses. (Bloomberg)
Fitch’s recent downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating to AA+ has pushed benchmark Treasury yields higher, raising borrowing costs for capital-intensive utilities like AEP as it carries out its $70 billion investment plan and possibly impacting margins. (Reuters)
