Share Price Decline Between May 20 – May. 27: 10.41%

The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), together with its subsidiaries, operates as a power generation and utility company in the United States and internationally.

A number of factors have put downward pressure on the share price of The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) this month. The company reported lower-than-expected results for its Q1 2025, missing estimates in both earnings and revenue. Moreover, AES has suffered a blow from President Trump’s tax bill, with a potential slowdown expected in the renewable business outlook starting in 2027 and beyond. The wind and solar industries, in particular, have suffered a setback, and AES has been investing in these two renewable sectors since 2002.

Lastly, The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) was recently downgraded by analysts at Jeffries and Argus Research due to concerns about the company’s future, particularly in the renewable sector.
