Ameren reported second-quarter operating earnings per share of $1.13, up from $1.01 in the same year-ago period, putting the company on track to meet our and management's expectations.
Ameren's regulated utilities provide stable earnings. The company's large capital expenditure plan should drive above-average rate base and earnings growth for the next several years.
Regulators have made Ameren's Illinois utility regulatory environment challenging.
