Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 45 days.
The thesis — published August 17, 2025
AES blends steady utility income with clean-energy growth. Recent notes: Aug 12 highlighted AI tools to make the power grid smarter, Aug 11 pointed to a growing hydrogen market, and Aug 15 clarified solar tax credits. The recent average price is improving, mood is better, and trading shows more buyers than usual. Aiming for a steady three-month climb seems reasonable, though sudden interest-rate jumps could hurt.
Primary drivers
- Smarter grid using AI can cut costs and improve reliability for utilities
- Hydrogen demand is expected to grow, opening new clean-power revenue
- Clearer rules on solar credits make projects easier to fund and build
- Recent price and trading interest are improving, showing stronger buying
