American Electric Power Company (AEP) went through significant recent fluctuations. A new CEO, an energy executive, was chosen, and the company has been continuously compared to its competitors. The company had both good and bad trading days.
Institutional investors favor AEP, with 76% to 78% of the company’s shares owned by them. The public service commission delayed an electric rate increase, causing customer protests. Financial contributions to AEP were noteworthy, including &Partners's $1.37million investment and Atlantic Union Bankshares Corp purchasing 5,784 shares. Earnings growth surpassed the
25% return delivered to shareholders, with a new price target set at $102.00 by Morgan Stanley. However, rate returns aren't appealing. The company's Q2 earnings and revenues topped estimates, and dividends were announced. AEP received recognition as one of America's Best Employers for Diversity. The company forecasted robust growth in data center demand and saw a revenue increase from its utilities.
Still, it reported mixed 2023 earnings due to strategic shifts. A $1 billion Junior Subordinated Debentures offering was advised by Hunton Andrews Kurth while the company closed a $315M deal to sell its distributed resource business. Their Q1 2024 performance surpassed expectations, yet their Second Quarter 2024 Earnings fell short of expectations. AEP finalized the sale of its New Mexico Solar Assets but was also cut to sell-equivalent with limited catalysts by BofA.
