Ameren stock (ISIN US0236081024) was last at USD 99.94 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.30 percent on the session. The main company event is a 20-year energy roadmap filed by Ameren Missouri on September 28, 2026, according to Ameren.
Ameren plans large capacity additions
The preferred plan targets 2,100 MW of combined-cycle natural gas capacity by 2031, followed by 2,800 MW by 2035 and 1,400 MW by 2042. It also includes 1,900 MW of simple-cycle gas capacity by 2029, 1,300 MW of solar generation by 2030 and 2,400 MW of battery storage by 2030.
The roadmap also commits Ameren Missouri to serving 2.8 gigawatts of aggregate large-load demand by 2030 through signed electric service agreements. That figure connects the capital plan to the region's expanding electricity demand, while the company still plans 1,200 MW of new nuclear generation by 2040.
Quarterly earnings offer a mixed comparison
Ameren's Q2 2026 results showed a clear split between earnings and sales. According to MarketBeat, reported EPS was USD 1.13 against USD 1.08 consensus, while revenue was USD 2.09 billion, down 5.8 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Fiscal 2026 guidance remains USD 5.25-5.45 in EPS.
The earnings comparison matters because the sales decline came alongside an earnings beat. For investors, the central question is whether regulated investment and large-load demand can support future growth while Ameren funds a broad generation buildout.
Analysts see upside above the market price
The analyst picture remains constructive but not uniform. MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026 that Mizuho cut its target from USD 124 to USD 113 while retaining an Outperform rating.
A separate consensus compiled by Marketscreener lists a Buy rating from 16 analysts and an average target of USD 120.00. That target is 20.1 percent above the USD 99.94 reference price, keeping the long-term investment plan central to the valuation debate.
Ameren stock stays below yearly high
Ameren stock had a market capitalization of USD 27.7 billion as of October 2, 2026. Its USD 99.94 reference price stood 15.5 percent below the 52-week high of USD 118.32 and above the 52-week low of USD 96.57, giving the roadmap and the next earnings update room to shape the next valuation move.
