American Electric Power
AEP +0.64% 77

, a regulated utility and electricity-transmission operator, traded almost flat at $125.46 Monday morning as the AI infrastructure race pushed deeper into the power sector. NVIDIA
NVDA +0.44% 95

agreed to backstop up to $105 billion of financing obligations tied to OpenAI's massive Ohio data center project while investing $1.5 billion in SB Energy, the SoftBank-backed developer behind the campus.

The big winner from the AI boom may not just be chipmakers. Utilities are becoming the backbone of the next growth cycle. AEP Ohio is positioned to supply electricity for the Pike County project, which could eventually require 4.25 gigawatts of initial capacity with expansion options beyond that. The company is also supporting a $4.2 billion transmission upgrade program, while SB Energy has committed to covering those infrastructure costs instead of shifting the burden onto existing customers.

The valuation story remains more balanced. AEP traded at $125.41 versus its GF Value™ of $114.89, placing the stock approximately 9.16% above its estimated intrinsic value. Investors are clearly giving AEP credit for its role in powering the AI expansion, but the earnings impact is still a future event. Electricity is not expected to begin flowing to the site until 2029, meaning regulatory approvals, construction execution and demand growth will determine whether this becomes a major earnings catalyst or simply a long-term infrastructure bet.

The AI race needs more than GPUs. It needs power, transmission lines and companies capable of delivering electricity at massive scale. AEP is now sitting directly in the middle of that opportunity.

Key Takeaways AEP added 6 gigawatts of contracted load in Q2, lifting additions through 2030 to 69 gigawatts.AEP reaffirmed its $78 billion capital plan for 2026-2030, targeting nearly 11% rate base growth.AEP secured 3 gigawatts of gas-fired turbine capacity, bringing total secured capacity to 13 gigawatts. American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to emphasize accelerating customer demand, a larger investment pipeline and steps to support long-term infrastructure growth. Management raised its full-year outlook while highlighting expanded contracted load opportunities and generation planning.

The call focused less on quarterly earnings pressure and more on how AEP is positioning its transmission, generation and regulatory platforms for sustained expansion. Executives also addressed investor questions around capital deployment, financing and emerging customer demand.

AEP Expands Demand OutlookAEP reported earnings of $1.36 per share for the second quarter of 2026, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.49. Revenues reached $5.45 billion, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.26 billion.

Chief executive officer William Fehrman said the company added 6 gigawatts of contracted load during the quarter, bringing total contracted load additions through 2030 to 69 gigawatts. The company attributed much of the increase to fully executed agreements in Texas.

Fehrman emphasized that large-load customers, including hyperscalers and industrial users, are central to AEP’s growth strategy. Management said these agreements are structured to provide customer commitments while helping spread fixed costs across a broader base.

American Electric Power Advances Capital PlanAmerican Electric Power reaffirmed its $78 billion capital plan for 2026 through 2030, which management expects to support nearly 11% rate base compound annual growth. The company also identified more than $10 billion of potential incremental investments beyond the base plan.

Chief financial officer Trevor Mihalik said AEP expects operating earnings growth of 7% to 9% annually through 2030 and operating EPS CAGR of more than 9%, supported by infrastructure investments and regulatory improvements.

Management highlighted potential additions from the Wyoming fuel cell project, the Piketon transmission opportunity and incremental generation investments. Executives said these projects could expand the company’s long-term investment runway.

AEP Secures Generation CapacityAEP said it secured an additional 3 gigawatts of gas-fired turbine capacity during the quarter, increasing total secured turbine capacity to approximately 13 gigawatts for deployment through 2031. The company is also evaluating up to 10 gigawatts of additional turbine capacity through 2035.

Fehrman said securing equipment early provides flexibility as demand increases and generation resources become more constrained. Management noted that the turbine strategy is intended to support customer growth and replace aging generation assets over time.

The company also discussed early-stage nuclear opportunities. Fehrman said AEP remains disciplined on capital allocation and would require strong protections, financial safeguards and regulatory support before advancing such projects.

American Electric Power Faces Investor QuestionsAmerican Electric Power faced analyst questions about whether growth opportunities could require new financing structures. A Wells Fargo analyst asked about alternative approaches for serving hyperscale customers, including potential generation company structures.

Fehrman said AEP is evaluating the GenCo structure because it could provide advantages in serving large customers. He also highlighted opportunities in West Virginia, where the company is pursuing projects aligned with regional economic development goals.

A Jefferies analyst questioned how AEP views new nuclear development and customer-specific generation structures. Management reiterated that any approach would prioritize balance sheet protection and disciplined investment decisions.

AEP Maintains Financial DisciplineAEP raised its 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share from the prior range of $6.15 to $6.45 per share. Management cited strong first-half performance and expected regulatory benefits in the second half of the year.

The company also completed a $3 billion marketed equity transaction intended to support the current capital plan. Management said the transaction addressed anticipated equity needs associated with the $78 billion investment program.

Executives highlighted customer affordability efforts, including up to $16 billion in expected cost offsets from new large-load agreements and nearly $1.4 billion in estimated customer benefits from DOE loans and grants.

AEP Focuses on Long-Term ExecutionAEP ended the call by emphasizing execution across financial performance, affordability, growth and regulatory outcomes. Management pointed to customer demand, infrastructure investment and regulatory progress as key priorities.

The company said it continues to pursue growth while maintaining investment-grade credit metrics, including a targeted FFO-to-debt ratio of 14% to 15%.

Management’s outlook centered on expanding infrastructure capacity, supporting new customer demand and advancing projects that could extend growth beyond the current five-year plan.

Zacks Signals for AEPAEP carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The Zacks Rank focuses on earnings estimate revisions and is designed to help identify stocks with potential relative performance over the next one to three months. The Rank can change as analysts update earnings expectations following quarterly results.

Raises full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share Supports affordability with up to $16 billion in expected cost offsets from load growth and $1.4 billion in expected customer savings from federal loan guarantees and grants Expands new load additions to 69 gigawatts (GW) through 2030 Secures approximately 13 GW of gas-fired turbine capacity; additional 10 GW under evaluation to meet growing demand , /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported second-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $713 million or $1.31 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $1,226 million or $2.29 per share in second-quarter 2025. Operating earnings for second-quarter 2026 were $742 million or $1.36 per share, compared with operating earnings of $766 million or $1.43 per share in second-quarter 2025. See the detailed GAAP to operating earnings reconciliation at the end of this press release.

AEP is raising its full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share from its previous guidance range of $6.15 to $6.45 per share to reflect strong performance through the first half of the year and expected results for the remainder of the year. The company also reaffirmed its annual operating earnings growth rate of 7% to 9% through 2030, with an expected operating earnings compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of greater than 9%, based on the 2025 guidance midpoint and supported by AEP's five-year, $78 billion capital plan. Additionally, AEP has line of sight to incremental capital investments of more than $10 billion, including the fuel cell project in Wyoming, the Piketon transmission opportunity in Ohio, and incremental generation in AEP's footprint.

"While I recognize our operating earnings are below last year at this stage due to the 2025 transmission minority interest sale and the timing of tax-related items, I am highly confident in our robust business performance – so much so that we are raising 2026 full-year guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share," said Bill Fehrman, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Affordability and Regulatory Progress

Affordability remains central to AEP's customer-focused growth strategy. As new large load customers come online, they can help spread the fixed costs across a broader customer base. AEP has identified up to $16 billion in expected cost offsets for residential customers in its vertically integrated utilities that are supported by fully executed take-or-pay electric service agreements.

As an additional affordability measure, AEP continues to utilize grants and low-cost loans from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to drive customer savings. Most recently, AEP Texas secured a DOE loan for up to $3.3 billion to support nearly 100 transmission projects, which is expected to save customers $685 million in interest costs over the life of the loan.

With this financing, AEP has now secured approximately $5 billion in DOE loans across its portfolio, supporting nearly $1 billion in projected customer savings through lower interest costs. Combined with almost $400 million in awarded DOE grants, this DOE funding is expected to deliver nearly $1.4 billion in estimated customer benefits over the life of the loans and grants.

AEP's operating companies continued to deliver productive regulatory outcomes during the second quarter. These included approval of a distribution base rate decrease for customers in Ohio, approval to add 1.3 GW of generation resources for Oklahoma customers, and completion of a $1.4 billion securitization that allowed Appalachian Power to file its lowest increase in a base rate request in Virginia in nearly 30 years. Virginia also approved a large load tariff in the second quarter, bringing the total number of AEP's states with approved large load tariffs to five, with three additional state filings pending approval.

"As electricity demand accelerates, we have seen firsthand how growth can lower costs and improve affordability for existing customers. That is why we have led efforts to implement large load tariffs and structure contracts to ensure growth helps pay for growth," said Fehrman. "By leveraging our industry-leading transmission network, securing the resources needed to support reliability and future demand, and working with our regulators and policymakers to drive down costs for customers, we expect to strengthen our communities and create long-term value for all of our stakeholders."

Accelerating Demand Drives Infrastructure Investment

AEP continues to see robust customer demand across its system and is making investments that support reliability, affordability and long-term value for customers, communities and shareholders. The company added an incremental six GW of signed load agreements during the second quarter, primarily in Texas, bringing total contracted load growth through 2030 to 69 GW. The agreements include a diverse set of customers, including hyperscalers, data centers and industrials.

Generation Strategy Advances to Support Growing Customer Base

Significant new generation is required to meet customer energy needs, and AEP has been an early mover to secure the resources needed to serve growing demand reliably.

During the second quarter, AEP secured three additional GW of gas-fired turbine capacity, bringing its total secured capacity to approximately 13 GW for potential deployment through 2031. AEP is also evaluating opportunities to obtain up to 10 GW of additional turbine capacity through 2035. This proactive approach provides greater visibility and flexibility in AEP's generation planning and reinforces its ability to serve accelerating load growth across the footprint.

"AEP is demonstrating the value of our scale, industry expertise and disciplined focus on execution to benefit our customers," said Fehrman. "We are building partnerships and making strategic investments in generation and transmission that support reliability and affordability while helping customers and communities capture the benefits of generational energy demand growth."

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

AEP management raised its 2026 operating earnings guidance range to $6.25 to $6.55 per share. Operating earnings, which could differ from earnings reported in accordance with GAAP, exclude certain gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of AEP's ongoing performance. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance at this time.

Reflecting certain items recorded through the second quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $6.16 to $6.46 per share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2026 earnings guidance.

WEBCAST

AEP's quarterly discussion with financial analysts and investors will be broadcast live over the internet at 9 a.m. Eastern today at http://www.aep.com/webcasts. The webcast will include audio of the discussion and visuals of charts and graphics referred to by AEP management.

AEP reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. AEP supplements its reporting of financial information with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating earnings and operating earnings per share. The most comparable GAAP measure to operating earnings and operating earnings per share is GAAP earnings and GAAP earnings per share, respectively.

This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of period over period financial results and provide an indication of AEP's baseline operating performance by excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting of future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations. These non-GAAP measures should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP measures.

"David has spent his career leading complex operations at one of the world's most recognized service companies, where consistency, execution and customer trust are critical. Charles has led one of the world's most important digital infrastructure platforms through a period of extraordinary growth, giving him direct insight into the customers and technologies driving this new era of electric demand.

Since joining Marriott in 1999, he has held senior operational, sales and leadership roles across the company, including President, U.S. Full Service Managed by Marriott, where he oversaw more than 330 hotels operating under 14 brands across 34 states and French Polynesia. He also served as Chief Operations Officer, The Americas Eastern Region, where he held an integral role in hotel operations and helped oversee the U.S. integration of Marriott's acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts.

"AEP serves millions of customers who depend on the company every day," said David Marriott. "Delivering consistently across a large footprint requires operational discipline, strong teams, trusted relationships and an unwavering commitment to service. I look forward to working with the Board and management team as AEP continues to serve customers and communities across some of the country's most dynamic regions."

Meyers was appointed Executive Chairman of Equinix in June 2024 after serving as President and CEO from 2018 to 2024. As CEO, he further strengthened Equinix's position as a leading global digital infrastructure company, doubling its global data center footprint, strengthening its ecosystem of leading enterprise customers and quadrupling revenues during his tenure. He previously held several senior leadership roles at Equinix, including Chief Operating Officer, President of Strategy, Services and Innovation, and President of the Americas region.

"The digital economy depends on reliable electric infrastructure, and AEP has the footprint, transmission expertise and operating discipline to help meet those needs," said Meyers. "I am excited to join the Board at such an important time for AEP and contribute to the company's work building the critical infrastructure needed for the future."
