AES: Spot-market strength lifted EBITDA, while Maritza expiry and merger execution remain pivotal

AES reported Q3 revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth due to stronger spot-market sales and utility rates. Common-stockholder income declined because of lower tax benefits and higher impairments. The company's 10.9 GW PPA backlog supports future growth, but uncertainties include hydrology, policy shifts, and merger execution.
