Published on 08/29/2026 at 14:53 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
AES Corp. (US00130H1059) closed at $14.73 on August 28, 2026, and the latest analyst snapshot shows Q2 FY26 actual earnings of $0.44 per share against a $0.47 estimate.
Estimates moved again
The same snapshot puts Q2 FY26 revenue at $3.42 billion and shows current-quarter revenue estimates of $3.45 billion for September 2026, with sales growth expected at 2.94%.
Current-year revenue estimates sit at $14.33 billion for 2026, while the next-year view is $13.44 billion, a 6.24% decline versus the current-year estimate.
What the numbers say
For investors, the mix is simple: the share price is still anchored by a recent close, but the estimate table now shows 2026 earnings expectations of $2.38 per share for the full year, with next-quarter EPS seen at $0.59 after $0.81 in the December 2025 quarter.
That gap between near-term quarterly EPS and full-year expectations gives the stock a clearer benchmark than a generic sector move.
AES business focus
AES operates as a power company with generation and utility assets across multiple markets, so revenue, margin and guidance trends matter more than headline noise.
The product and service mix is centered on electricity supply, long-term contracts and regulated utility operations.
Price and view
The stock's latest close of $14.73 leaves AES with a concrete reference point as the market weighs 2026 estimates and the next reported quarter.
Price as of August 28, 2026, 4:00 p.m. ET: $14.73 USD.
