American Electric Power reported third-quarter operating earnings per share of $2.23, up from $1.80 in the year-ago period. The company is on track to meet our and management's full-year expectations.
Investments in transmission, distribution, and generation during the next several years should support earnings growth above the sector average.
AEP has struggled to earn its regulatory allowed returns at some of its regulated utilities.
