AES reports Q3 earnings beat with $0.86 EPS and $3.87 B revenue

AES Corp. released its third‑quarter results, posting revenue of $3.87 billion and earnings per share of $0.86, which topped analyst forecasts by $0.33. Net income was $553 million and adjusted earnings came in at 87 cents per share. The company highlighted a 10.9 GW power‑purchase‑agreement backlog supporting future growth.

The earnings beat and higher‑than‑expected revenue may improve investor sentiment toward AES, as the company exceeded consensus estimates. Strong spot‑market sales and a sizable PPA backlog suggest continued cash flow strength.
