Description: AEE Ameren October 14, 2025
Ameren Corporation (NYSE:AEE) is a regulated public-utility holding company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, operating four business segments: Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution, Ameren Illinois Natural Gas, and Ameren Transmission. Its core activities are rate-regulated generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, plus regulated natural-gas distribution, serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Missouri and Illinois.
Generation assets are a mix of coal, nuclear, natural-gas, and renewables (hydro, wind, methane capture, solar). As of FY 2023, Ameren reported roughly $2.3 billion of adjusted EBITDA and a regulated return on equity (ROE) of about 7.5%, consistent with utility sector benchmarks. Capital expenditures were $1.5 billion, with roughly 15% earmarked for renewable-energy projects, pushing its clean-energy capacity toward 2.5 GW by 2027.
Key economic drivers include state-level electricity rate cases, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) policy on transmission cost recovery, and macro-level inflation that influences both operating costs and the utility’s ability to pass through expenses to ratepayers. A material risk is the ongoing regulatory scrutiny of coal-derived generation, which could accelerate the shift toward gas-and-renewable resources and affect long-term asset utilization.
Given Ameren’s high-leveraged balance sheet (debt-to-equity ≈ 1.2) and its exposure to decarbonization mandates, analysts should monitor the upcoming Illinois and Missouri rate case outcomes and the company’s progress on its 2030 carbon-reduction targets before forming a valuation view.
