TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

AES operates as a diversified utility in 15 countries, providing strong leadership in renewable energy sources.  It trades at 17x earnings and supports a ROE of 19%.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $15, looking to achieve $23 -- upside potential of 29%.  Yield 3.9%

(Analysts’ price target is $22.59)
TOP PICK
Hasn't done well. Fell prey to the investment bubble. In a recovery mode and getting back to basics. Good management.
HOLD
Somewhat risky, levered balance sheet. Could see good upside.
BUY
Fell 49% because they missed their earnings. Good valuation now. Hold for 2 years.
