Ameren Corp. (US0236081024) stock traded at $106.71 on August 28, 2026, with a market cap of $29.54 billion and a 200-day moving average of $110.32. The utility's second-quarter results on July 30, 2026 showed earnings of $1.13 a share, which beat the $1.08 consensus by $0.05.
Quarterly earnings snapshot
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $2.09 billion, down 5.8 percent from $2.22 billion a year earlier. Net income was $314 million, up from $275 million in the prior-year period, while operating income rose to $459 million from $411 million.
That mix matters for a regulated utility: lower sales did not stop profit from improving, and the quarter still pointed to stable full-year execution. Ameren kept its fiscal 2026 EPS guide at $5.25 to $5.45, while the street was looking for $5.4 a share for the full year.
Guidance and trend lines
The share price sat below both the 50-day average of $110.88 and the 200-day average of $110.32 on August 28, 2026. That places the stock under both near-term and longer trend markers even after the earnings update.
Return on equity was 10.95 percent and the net margin was 17.86 percent in the latest quarterly disclosure. For utility investors, the comparison that stands out is the 5.8 percent drop in revenue against the rise in net income and the unchanged EPS range.
Regulated utility base
Ameren's electric and gas network across Missouri and Illinois still frames the investment case, with regulated delivery and transmission businesses providing the core earnings backdrop. The July 30, 2026 update showed that the utility model can absorb softer revenue while protecting profit and guidance.
