The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- AES closes below its 50-day average ($14.89) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($14.79): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $14.87, AES is 15.8% below its 1-year high of $17.65, set on February 27, 2026, and 12.0% above its 1-year low of $13.28 (November 21, 2025).
- Over the past month AES fell 0.4%, from $14.93 to $14.87.
- AES trades at 6.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 6.2x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 4.3% lower.
- Its P/E is 74.2% below the 23.1x of NRG, the other utilities—independent power producers company we track.
- AES's 30-day volatility, 6.0% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 0.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.92: over five years of monthly returns, AES moved about 0.92% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $14.89 (+0.1%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 0.7% under the 200-day at $14.79 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $17.65 (+18.7%) would be a new 1-year high; below $13.28 (−10.7%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for AES, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under utilities—independent power producers among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
