What the Analysts think about AEP
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for American Electric Power stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
American Electric Power exceeded analysts’ second-quarter forecasts with adjusted operating earnings of $1.43 per share, ahead of the $1.27 estimate, and reaffirmed full-year guidance, underscoring strong execution and expanded profitability (Reuters).
The completed $2.82 billion strategic partnership with KKR and PSP Investments—giving them a 19.9% equity stake in AEP’s transmission businesses in Ohio and Indiana & Michigan—is immediately accretive to EPS, strengthens AEP’s balance sheet, and advances equity funding for its capital program (Reuters).
AEP and its Transource joint venture plan to invest about $1.7 billion in transmission upgrades in the PJM region, aiming to boost grid reliability and support growing electricity demand in Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia (Reuters).
AEP’s plan to increase its five-year capital program to roughly $70 billion will require higher electricity rates through regulatory approval processes. Any delays or setbacks in gaining these approvals could negatively impact earnings (Reuters).
AEP is exposed to the risk of 'phantom' data center load, as many interconnection requests may not materialize, which could result in overbuilt infrastructure and stranded assets (WSJ).
The industry-wide increase in utility capital expenditures to serve data center demand is accelerating concerns over potential electricity rate hikes of 15–40% for customers, which could provoke regulatory resistance and restrict AEP's ability to fully recover its costs (FT).
