What the filing says
AEP raised full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25–$6.55/share (from $6.15–$6.45/share). The company added 6 GW of signed load agreements in Q2, bringing total contracted load growth to 69 GW through 2030. AEP secured ~13 GW of gas-fired turbine capacity and is evaluating 10 GW more; it identified up to $16 billion in cost offsets from load growth and $1.4 billion in customer savings from DOE loans/grants.
Why this rating
Guidance raise and strong load growth are material positives, but Q2 GAAP earnings fell 42% YoY; relative to $56B market cap, $78B 5-year capex and 69 GW load growth are moderate-sized developments, not transformational.
