American Electric Power operates numerous utilities, providing investors protection from any one adverse regulatory ruling. Nearly all of the company’s $43 billion capital investment plan from 2024-28 focuses on regulated investments.
Investments in transmission, distribution and renewable energy during the next several years should support earnings growth.
AEP has struggled to earn its regulatory allowed returns at some of its regulated utilities.
