American Electric Power (NASDAQ:AEP) has been involved in various business imperatives over time. Despite the downgrading of their price target to $104.00 by Morgan Stanley, the company's Return on Equity (ROE) of 9.9% has come off as impressive compared to industry standards. A 1-GW fuel cell deal with Bloom Energy targets using clean energy to power up data centers - a deal that will set new records.

Another crucial highlight is AEP's favorable positioning in fuel cell technology to power data center growth. The company also witnessed a significant increase in short interest and have set aside $19M to cover potential legal settlements.
