Company overview. | Metric | Value | | Share Price (as of market close 2026-08-19) | $109.28 | | Market Capitalization | $29.4 billion | | Revenue (TTM) | $8.4 billion | | Net Income (TTM) | $1.6 billion | Company snapshot. * Ameren operates as a rate-regulated utility holding company that provides electricity generation, transmission, and distribution services, as well as natural gas distribution and transmission, across multiple jurisdictions in the United States. * The company generates revenue through regulated utility operations organized into four primary divisions: Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution, Ameren Illinois Natural Gas, and Ameren Transmission, with earnings derived from rate-regulated service delivery and returns on infrastructure investments. * Ameren serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers throughout its service territories, with a customer base that depends on reliable, regulated utility services for electricity and natural gas.

Market Cap Day's Range $ 105.79 - $ 106.97 52wk Range $ 96.57 - $ 118.32 Gross Margin Dividend Yield What this transaction means for investors. Based on this transaction and the stock price's performance, this appears to be just a routine sale. As of this writing, over the last five years, Ameren's stock price has climbed 20.8%, and it is up 6.6% thus far in 2026, which is notable. That means the executive could just be locking in some gains. In addition, Martin still directly holds nearly 26,000 shares and indirectly holds 1,837 shares. That shows continued alignment with the company's future success, even after the sale of 971 shares. For what could be ahead for the company, analysts have a slightly favorable outlook. According to CNN, out of the 19 who cover the company, 58% rate it a buy, while 42% rate it a hold. From that group, the price target for Ameren stock over the next 12 months is $120, implying a potential 12.7% return from Ameren's stock price of $106.47 as of this writing. From that group, the lowest stock price target is $113, which would still represent a 6.1% gain. The highest price target in the group is $136, representing a 27.7% gain. One thing to watch with Ameren moving forward is its revenue and net income. Revenue is slightly slowing, with total operating revenue of $4.2 billion for the first six months of the year, down from $4.3 billion in the prior-year period. That said, it is squeezing more profit from lower revenue, reporting net income attributable to common shareholders of $671 million for the first six months of 2026, up from $564 million. It'll be worth it for shareholders to keep watching if that dynamic holds for the rest of the year. Should you buy stock in Ameren right now?

The Millcreek Energy Center and Missouri's energy future. Editor's Note: The following column was submitted by Rob Dixon, a vice-president for Ameren, regarding the proposed Millcreek Energy Center and the proposed Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The Public Service Commission is hosting a public meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Moscow Mills on the project. By Rob Dixon I was having coffee with a friend recently and, like many people, he expressed some frustration that the larger a proposed development project is, the fewer details seem to be available to the public. He lamented the fact that companies used to be proud of and transparent about the investments they were making in a community. But too often now, it feels like a shell game. Sadly, I couldn't necessarily disagree. That conversation also shapes how Ameren goes about communicating our proposed upgrades to the electric grid, including a battery storage facility that we are seeking to build on 12 acres of Ameren Missouri-owned property west of Highway 61 and just south of Tickridge Road. We've created a website just for the project at Ameren.com/Millcreek and genuinely want your feedback about the energy center. This spring, Lincoln County residents saw firsthand how important a resilient electric system is when severe weather moved through the area and an EF1 tornado touched down near Troy. Since 2019, Ameren Missouri has completed about 175 reliability projects in the region designed to reduce outages and improve service. Those investments have helped prevent storm-related outages, improve restoration capabilities and strengthen the electric system for customers. In May, we asked state regulators at the Missouri Public Service Commission for approval to build this battery storage facility. The public filing, which is available on the Commission's website, details how the project will improve reliability by helping keep power available when customers need it most by safely storing electricity and delivering it almost instantaneously back to the grid when demand is high or to combat extreme weather. If approved, the project could begin serving customers in 2028. Lincoln County homes, schools, farms and businesses depend on electricity every hour of every day, including during periods of high demand and extreme weather. The battery storage facility at Millcreek will safely keep power at the ready and help ensure customers in Lincoln County and the surrounding areas have their power needs met, even during the most challenging demands on the grid. The battery facility would be built on 12 acres, with an additional 12 acres used for a substation and switching equipment. More than 200 acres would remain largely undeveloped to provide a buffer for neighbors. These battery systems do not generate waste, odor, emissions or other byproducts. Built-in safety features and emergency plans are designed to protect both the community and the environment. Just as important as what this proposed facility is, is what this development isn't. This project is not a data center. It is not being built to attract a data center. It is being built for Ameren Missouri customers so they can have access to safe and reliable electricity. Like my father, brother and wife's late grandfather, I am a proud employee of Ameren Missouri. Our company has served customers in Missouri for more than 100 years, and we will serve Lincoln County for generations to come. Many Ameren Missouri employees live and work in Lincoln County and nearby communities, too. My late mother- and father-in-law called Troy home. This is a community we care about. As energy use continues to grow, Ameren Missouri is planning the resources needed to maintain reliable electric service. But we also know that being transparent, open and honest about how we are meeting those needs is more critical today than ever before. That's why we encourage you to visit the project's website, send us an email at [email protected] or give us a call at (877) 456-1535. Lastly, thank you for the opportunity to provide power to you, your neighbors and your family for the past 100 years. Rob Dixon serves as Ameren Missouri's vice president of regulatory and legislative affairs. Before joining Ameren Missouri, he was the director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development and a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Ameren Illinois and Illinois State University partner to push forward renewable energy. Published: Aug. 20, 2026 at 6:26 AM PDT BLOOMINGTON (25News Now) - Solar energy is on track to become a leading source of energy in the coming years, and in Bloomington, students are getting help preparing for the field. Ameren Illinois and Illinois State University announced a partnership Wednesday to build a new Microgrid Learning Lab at the School of Engineering's new building at 1709 General Electric Road in Bloomington. One student said he is excited about the partnership and how it will help ISU's engineering department grow. Looking for a challenge, sophomore engineering student Owen Moore knew engineering was his career of choice. He said the new and still-small program encouraged him to apply, looking forward to specialized and attentive professors because of the small class sizes. Now, he hopes to one day find a job as a project manager for large renewable energy projects. "Any of our resources, obviously, they're not going to last forever," Moore said. "I think the earlier that you start, like, using renewable energy and start relying on it and incorporating it into everything, the better off we will be, and we'll have to worry less about our nonrenewable energy resources running out." Through the partnership with Ameren Illinois, Moore will be closer to his dream career. The new lab will help students get hands-on experience with emerging grid and energy technologies ahead of growing demand. Illinois, in particular, is moving toward decarbonizing its energy generation mix by transitioning to 100% renewable sources by 2045. Former ISU student and now director of North Gas Operations for Ameren Illinois John Bozarth said the new partnership will provide a high-quality and affordable program for students looking to get into engineering and, hopefully, later share their talents with Ameren. "It's where the community intersects. We want to be a part of the conversation," Bozarth said. "And so, thinking about higher education and those skill sets for our engineering, you know, our systems are complex. They do require a very technical skill set, and from that standpoint... what better place to invest than in our backyard in these energy programs." There are currently more than 250 students enrolled in the university's engineering program. The program offers general engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Sharing Bozarth's excitement about students being able to explore engineering is one ISU professor, who said feedback on the program has been positive. With the support and pipeline from Ameren, students will be able to enter various fields. "Almost all the students, they really like the program," said Dr. Md Shahin Alam, assistant professor of electrical engineering at Illinois State University. "... After they learn about renewable energy and microgrid technologies, they'll be able to know the basics about wind turbines, how they work. They will collect data; they will be able to see all the technologies that will be helping us ..." Ameren donated $5,000, and the timeline for the lab is still up in the air. Through Ameren's internship and co-op program, Ameren partners with ISU to find talent, and students have an opportunity to interact with the company. Bozarth added that there is a strong interest in renewable energy, which is at the center of conversations around the university's engineering program. "My excitement for engineering, my excitement to develop our employees, really extends down to our youth and our up-and-coming workforce," Bozarth said. "Thinking about, as a student, not really knowing what careers are out there, how will careers unfold? Personally, me being able to partner with our young engineers and our students in our communities and helping them understand really what are the problems that we're trying to solve in the world."

Ameren Corp (NYSE: AEE) reports Q2 Earnings of $314M, missing estimates. 31 July 2026 11:01 AM PDT Summarize with AI You are reading a free article with opinions that may differ from the recommendation given by Kalkine in its paid research reports. Become a Kalkine member today to get access to its research reports, in-depth technical and fundamental research. Learn more Ameren Corp reported a second quarter net income of $314 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, below the $1.19 consensus estimate. This shortfall may signal investor caution despite the company's reaffirmation of its earnings guidance for 2026 of $5.25 to $5.45 per share. Key Highlights * Ameren's Q2 net income reached $314 million, equating to $1.13 per diluted share, versus analyst expectations of $1.19 per share. * Year-to-date, AEE shares have appreciated by 7.8%, though they have dipped 3.8% over the past month. * The company maintains its 2026 earnings guidance between $5.25 and $5.45 per share, assuming normal weather conditions. * Ameren Missouri's earnings increased to $157 million, aided by infrastructure investment despite climbing operational costs. Q2 Earnings Overview Ameren Corp demonstrated a strong performance in its second quarter ended June 30, 2026, posting a net income of $314 million, which translates to $1.13 per diluted share. However, this figure fell short of the $1.19 consensus estimate gathered from analyst forecasts. Such results suggest a potential caution among investors as this quarter's performance reflects increased operational costs overshadowing the benefits from infrastructure investments that aimed to enhance system reliability. With shares of Ameren up 7.8% year-to-date, the downward movement sparked by missing earnings expectations may raise questions about future prospects in the current economic climate. Financial Mechanics of the Quarter The earnings report illustrated that Ameren's performance was buoyed by significant infrastructure investments aimed at improving reliability and service across various segments. However, this positive trend was moderated by higher operational expenses, particularly those related to maintenance and tree trimming efforts focused on reliability. In comparative terms, the net income for the first half of 2026 totaled $671 million, reflecting a year-over-year growth from the $564 million recorded in the same period of 2025. With increased weighted-average common shares contributing to these earnings, the infrastructure strategy continues to be a double-edged sword, while it supports long-term growth, it pressures short-term profitability. Market Reaction and Implications Following the second quarter results, Ameren shares experienced a decline, reflecting market sensitivity to earnings performance amid rising operational costs. The slight dip, combined with a recent 3.8% decline over the past month, indicates investor concerns over the company's ongoing strategies. Peer companies in the sector have shown varied performance, underscoring the potential volatility in the utilities sector as costs escalate. In light of the current conditions, Ameren has reaffirmed its earnings guidance for 2026, estimating a range between $5.25 and $5.45 per diluted share. This guidance relies on normalized temperatures and is subject to various market and regulatory factors. Investors can look toward the upcoming conference call scheduled for July 31, 2026, at 9 a.m. Central Time, where management is expected to discuss earnings guidance further and address investor concerns about operational expenses and revenue outlooks. As detailed insights into management's strategy emerge, market participants will be keen to gauge their approach toward persistent cost pressures affecting the utilities sector.
