AES Still Offers A Risk-Reward Play
I rate AES a speculative Buy for risk-tolerant investors, given deep value, improving margins, and strong renewables/data center tailwinds despite high debt risks. Valuations are extremely low due to debt and operational concerns, but much of the downside is already priced in, limiting further risk unless fundamentals worsen. Renewables expansion and a strong PPA backlog support the case for margin improvement, with dividends and potential takeovers providing additional downside protection.
