AES Corporation: Transition from Coal & Asset Performance To Up The Ante In Clean Energy Sectors!

AES Corporation’s second quarter 2025 financial results reflect a balanced mix of strengths and challenges across its operations. Overall, the company has managed to maintain resilience in the face of changing market conditions and policy landscapes, directed by a strategy that emphasizes flexibility and a diversified energy portfolio. On the positive side, AES reaffirmed its 2025 guidance and long-term growth targets, reporting adjusted EBITDA of $681 million and an adjusted EPS of $0.51 for the quarter. The company showcased significant growth in its renewables segment, with adjusted EBITDA reaching $240 million, translating to a 56% increase from the same period last year. This growth is largely attributed to the addition of 3.2 gigawatts over the previous year, and AES expects a strong completion rate of project construction by year-end.
