Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 20 days.
The thesis — published September 11, 2025
AES looks like a potential short-term rebound in a weak utilities group. The stock is down 29.75% over the past year, which can set up a bargain if the broader pressure eases. If interest rates start to come down, that could help the sector. But the trend is still down, so start small near 12.60-13.00 and only add if the price can close above 13.2, while staying mindful that utilities have lagged.
Primary drivers
- The stock has fallen sharply, creating a possible short-term bargain window.
- Expected rate cuts could ease pressure on utilities and help valuations recover.
- Investor interest stays relatively firm even after a steep multi-month slide.
- Downtrend remains in place, so build positions slowly and in planned steps.
