Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 40 days.
The thesis — published August 22, 2025
AES looks very sold-off, and its recent average price is starting to turn up, which can set up a careful bounce. Recent government guidance on solar tax credits was easier than expected, which helped the whole group and eased worries about funding clean-energy projects. After years of weak results, expectations are low, so buying near the lower end of its range aims for a rebound while closely watching project and interest-rate risks.
Primary drivers
- Shares look very sold-off, which often leads to a short-term bounce back
- Government guidance for solar was easier than feared, lifting sentiment
- Recent average price is turning up, hinting that trading may steady soon
- Utility stocks that pay income often rebound after sharp, quick drops
How it played out
AES: target reached in 40 days
Lyra published AES at $12.99 on 2025-08-22 with 12% expected growth and a $14.37 target. The thesis pointed to a very sold-off setup, easier-than-feared government guidance for solar, a recent average price that was turning up, and the chance that income-paying utility stocks could rebound after sharp drops.
Inside the window, AES rose to $15.32 on 2025-10-01, above the target. The target was reached in 40 days. The peak gain was 17.9%. By 2025-11-20, the stock had fallen back to $13.51, still above the publication price. The thesis played out.
What happened during the window
On 2025-10-16, Axios reported that AES Indiana, Indianapolis, and other parties had filed a rate-review settlement with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The report said the deal covered more than 500,000 customers and would bar another base rate increase before January 2030 if approved.
