What the Analysts think about AEP
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for American Electric Power stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
AEP beat second-quarter 2025 profit forecasts with adjusted earnings of $1.43 per share, boosted by higher electricity rates, and announced a new $70 billion five-year capital investment plan to support record U.S. power demand (Reuters)
AEP’s transmission unit secured a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy in October 2025, which will lower funding costs for upgrading nearly 5,000 miles of critical transmission lines and strengthen grid reliability (Reuters)
The company expanded its five-year capital spending plan from $54 billion to $72 billion in late October 2025 to meet soaring electricity demand from data centers and industrial customers, supporting a projected 10% annual rate-base growth through 2030 (Reuters)
AEP’s third-quarter 2025 adjusted profit of $1.80 per share slightly missed analyst expectations, pointing to risks in project execution and regulatory approvals for its large-scale infrastructure programs (Reuters)
With about 42% of its capacity from coal, AEP remains exposed to the long-term decline in U.S. coal-fired generation, which has contracted by 42% since 2000 and faces a halt in new plant construction (Reuters)
Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. sovereign rating from Aaa to Aa1 in May 2025 could raise corporate borrowing costs in general, potentially increasing AEP’s financing costs for its multi-billion-dollar capital plans (FT)
