The AES Corporation (AES): score, valuation & FAQ
The AES Corporation (AES) is a Utilities - Diversified company that scores 49.9 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/S (A) and PEG (B+), while Rev (D+) and FCF (F) rate weaker.
Is AES a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores AES 49.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. That is driven by P/S (A) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of The AES Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does AES score 49.9 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on value at 75.0 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 25.4 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. AES earns its highest marks on P/S (A) and PEG (B+), and is held back by Rev (D+) and FCF (F). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so AES is measured against Utilities - Diversified peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is AES overvalued or undervalued?
We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for AES — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.
What are the main risks of investing in AES?
D/E 2.57 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Free cash flow is negative (-$1.7b) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk.
