AES Corporation

AES shares are sitting just above their price averages from the last month, two months, and ten months, all at once.

What is going on right now?

AES has been drifting upward quietly, with trading activity lighter than usual. The price has risen steadily but not dramatically, hovering near $15.

How is the business itself doing?

AES builds and runs power plants and clean energy projects around the world. Its revenue grew roughly 20% recently, and it keeps about 14 cents of every dollar as profit, though the company is carrying heavy debt, about 2.5 times its own equity.

What stands out?

The company spent far more cash than it brought in, ending up about $3 billion in the red on cash flow. That matters because AES is in the middle of building out large renewable energy projects, which cost a lot upfront.

What comes next?

Its next earnings report lands on November 4, 2026. That will be the first look at whether the big spending is starting to translate into stronger income.
