American Electric Power Company (AEP) has recently made major changes to shape their business. They've signed an agreement to sell Distributed Resources Business to Basalt, experienced some stocks sold by Texas teacher retirement system, and published Q4 earnings in line with predictions, despite a dip in sales. Hiring Chris Brathwaite as the CCO and introducing new proposals to handle increased data center power demand in Ohio are welcome shifts. They've also declared a quarterly dividend, sold distributed resources business in a $315M deal and followed up with consistently robust trading days and short interest update. The company reaffirms earnings guidance till 2024, and has hinted at a CEO transition and targeted job reduction. Sale of New Mexico solar assets and an innovative response to addressing grid resources for data centers were also noted. Building investor confidence is a focus, regardless of mixed 2023 earnings report and debt issues. Strategic shifts in company dynamics and allocation of federal grant to enhance grid reliability are in the pipeline. Efforts are being made to address previous emission-related problems and maintain strong quarterly performances. Despite laying off 270 workers recently, AEP has reiterated its earnings and revenue estimates for Q1 2024. Promisingly, customer service awards from EEI and Key Business customers recognise company's customer-centric approach.
