What the filing says
AEP reported Q3 2026 operating EPS of $2.23 vs. $1.80 YoY, expects full-year 2026 operating EPS at/above $6.55 high end. Company announced $100B five-year capital plan (2027-2031) with 13%+ rate base CAGR, targeting $162B rate base by 2031; introduced 9-11% annual operating EPS growth guidance 2027-2031 with 10%+ CAGR. New contracted load of 84 GW by 2031 supported by take-or-pay agreements generating up to $21B in residential customer cost offsets. 2027-2028 guidance: $6.75-$7.05 and $7.40-$7.70 per share, respectively.
Why this rating
Substantial capital plan expansion and multi-year growth guidance materially above prior expectations for $56B market-cap utility; 13% rate base CAGR and customer affordability via large load contracts are strategically significant; represents meaningful trajectory shift though execution risk remains.
