The AES Corporation (AES): Quantitative Analysis

Name: Factor scores for The AES Corporation (AES)
Creator: Quant500
License: https://quant500.com/legal

The AES Corporation (AES) — Utilities — Utilities - Diversified. AES is in the S&P 500 today. Model factor scores and market data, recalculated every trading day.

So far in 2026, AES has returned +9.0% against +11.4% for the S&P 500 (SPY): total return, dividends included on both sides, from Dec 31, 2025 to Nov 3, 2026.

AES ranks 53 of 461 on today's multifactor score, and 1 of the 31 Utilities companies that score. Its strongest factor is value (Z 1.62, ranked 10 of 489); its weakest is quality (Z -0.52, ranked 392 of 468). Each factor ranks only the companies with data for it, and the multifactor score only those with all four: that is why the totals differ.

Valuation multiples: P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA and their trapsWhy the P/E and the price-to-book in the table above cannot be compared across sectors, and what a low P/E can hide.
Value and momentum: the two that have survived bestWhat the value and momentum scores on this page actually measure, and why they are the two factors that have best survived scrutiny.
Quality and low volatilityWhere the quality score comes from, and why it is the factor with the most competing definitions, all of them called the same thing.
Sales growth: the driver that gets overestimated mostWhat sits behind the growth score and the twelve-month revenue, and why it is the number people extrapolate too far most often.
Dividends and payout: high is not always goodThis company pays a dividend and its yield is in the table above: when a high figure is good news and when it is a warning.
