ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.17595 per share payable on November 13, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 30, 2026.

A group of U.S. lawmakers including Senator Elizabeth ​Warren asked federal energy regulators this week ‌to reject a more than $33 billion sale of power company AES to a BlackRock subsidiary and its investment ​partners, saying the deal could drive up ​electricity bills and allow data centers to benefit ⁠at the expense of utility customers, according ​to a letter seen by Reuters.

During times of turbulence and uncertainty in the markets, many investors turn to dividend-yielding stocks. These are often companies that have high free cash flows and reward shareholders with a high dividend payout.

Last week, the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) ran its familiar stop-the-deal playbook against AES Corporation's pending acquisition by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and EQT. Joined by consumer advocacy groups Public Citizen and Citizens Action Coalition Indiana, PESP petitioned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Docket EC26-99) to block the $33.4 billion acquisition outright or force BlackRock, which owns GIP, to break up its utility holdings as a condition of approval.

Focusing on dividend stocks at or near historic high yields enables value-driven capital gains and income, especially when yields exceed the 10-year Treasury. Five standout stocks—VICI, EMN, AES, KMB, and PEP—currently offer 4%+ yields near historic highs, supported by solid credit ratings and dividend growth histories. Relative valuation metrics (P/E or P/AFFO) confirm these winners are trading below their 5-year averages, highlighting attractive entry points.
