Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 19 days.
The thesis — published July 2, 2025
AES is drawing fresh attention as investors move into clean energy firms that have lagged. A recent $1.5 billion sale of Dominican power plants adds cash and cuts debt. A new law that removes a solar tax boosts project profits. Trading volume is three times normal and the price is stuck in a tight band, suggesting a possible move up to roughly about $13.70 within three months.
Primary drivers
- Sale brings in $1.5B cash, trims debt, funds future clean-energy projects
- Solar tax relief makes future projects more profitable, lifting the sector
- Trading volume is triple normal and price is edging higher, showing interest
- Price stayed narrow for weeks; a quick jump toward $13.7 could follow soon
How it played out
AES: target reached in 19 days
Lyra published AES at $10.93 on July 2, 2025, with expected growth of 22%. The thesis pointed to the $1.5 billion sale of Dominican power plants, lower debt, solar tax relief, heavier trading volume, and a narrow price band that could lead to a quick move higher.
