AES has narrowed its geographic and business focus by selling businesses in markets where the company did not have a strong platform or competitive advantage. We think his strategy has been in the best interest of shareholders. The company now has operations in fewer countries, a stronger balance sheet, and a rapidly growing renewable energy business.
AES has utility and generation assets in many countries. This diversification reduces country- and region-specific risk.
AES faces above-average political risk with a significant portion of earnings from businesses or projects in developing countries.
