Description: AEE Ameren December 17, 2025

Ameren Corporation (NYSE:AEE) is a publicly-traded utility holding company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. It operates four regulated segments-Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution, Ameren Illinois Natural Gas, and Ameren Transmission-providing electric generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as natural-gas distribution, to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Missouri and Illinois. Its generation mix includes coal, nuclear, natural gas, and a growing portfolio of renewables such as hydro, wind, methane capture, and solar.

Key quantitative points (as of FY 2023) include a regulated rate base of roughly $23 billion, operating cash flow of $2.1 billion, and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 3.5×, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the sector. The utility’s renewable capacity has risen ~12 % YoY, driven by state-mandated clean-energy targets and the Midwest’s favorable wind resources. Demand growth is modestly correlated with regional industrial activity and population trends, while rate-case outcomes in the Illinois Commerce Commission and Missouri Public Service Commission remain primary drivers of earnings volatility.
