American Electric Power stock enters week after $100 billion plan

American Electric Power set investors up for a week focused on the final availability of its third-quarter earnings call replay. The telephone replay remains available through Tuesday, November 3, according to the earnings call transcript.

The call followed AEP's October 28 release of third-quarter results. On its company website, AEP highlighted operating earnings per share of 2.23 dollars and raised its confidence that full-year operating earnings would reach at least the upper end of its 6.25 to 6.55 dollar range.

Growth plan raises the stakes

The plan also includes a new long-term operating earnings growth outlook of 9% to 11% a year from 2027 through 2031, compared with the previous 7% to 9% range.

The company provided additional visibility with 2027 operating EPS guidance of 6.75 to 7.05 dollars and 2028 guidance of 7.40 to 7.70 dollars. AEP also said contracted load had risen to 84 gigawatts through 2031, including 35 gigawatts backed by firm take-or-pay agreements.
