AES Corporation is moving forward with its acquisition valued at $15.00 per share, while grappling with mixed financial outcomes, including total revenues of $3.1 billion that increased 4.7% year-over-year but fell short of estimates. The company reported adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share, exceeding expectations by 30.6%, yet its rising non-recourse debt now stands at $21.68 billion, raising concerns over financial stability. Analysts maintain a 'Hold' rating on AES as the merger is set to close in late 2026 or early 2027.
