Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 80 days.
The thesis — published July 13, 2025
AES jumped 20% on July 10 after news it might put itself up for sale. Even after the jump, investor mood is still only average, so the price could rise again if a formal sale starts. Buying between $12.25 and $12.75 lets you aim for about 22% gains from either a buyout offer or the current buzz carrying into the fall, while remembering that headlines could still swing the stock sharply.
Primary drivers
- July 10 sale talk made the stock jump 20% and drew in far more option buyers.
- Trading data shows lots more people are buying than usual and price trend is firm.
- Its wind, solar and LNG projects make the company appealing to bigger energy players.
- A 17.6 cent quarterly payout gives income while investors wait for deal news.
