AES Mispricing Creates An Opportunity For The Daring
AES Corporation's 2024 earnings met expectations, with reliable management forecasts and continued strong dividends, despite revenue and EBITDA declines due to asset sales. For 2025, AES plans to focus on large-scale projects, responding to government changes by reducing capital investment by $1.7bn and cutting costs, including a 10% headcount reduction. AES's renewable energy expansion is robust, with 4GW of new capacity expected in 2025, expected to be protected from tariff impacts and supported by tax credits.
