Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

AES operates as a diversified utility company, leading in renewable energy across 15 countries. Despite its strong performance metrics, including a return on equity of 19% and an earnings multiple of 17x, the stock has recently underperformed, leading to a recommendation to cover positions at the triggered stop price of $15. Analysts express a positive outlook, suggesting an upside potential of 29% with a price target of $22.59, supported by growing cash reserves and aggressive debt reduction strategies. However, the recent drop of 13.3% indicates some market volatility, prompting caution among investors. The overall sentiment appears to balance between appreciation for its financial health and concerns over recent stock performance.

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.
WEAK BUY
Looks to be a survivor.
BUY
Fell 49% because they missed their earnings. Good valuation now. Hold for 2 years.
