AES Stock and Options Trade Setup — AES Corporation
S&P 500 · Utilities (Renewable Energy) · Moderate-liquidity options · Mid cap · ~$11B
AES is executing one of the fastest clean-energy pivots of any large utility globally — nearly 60% of its generation capacity is now zero-carbon, with a 35+ GW renewable development pipeline. The company has secured long-term offtake agreements with hyperscalers including Microsoft and Amazon, providing contracted revenue visibility for the next 10-15 years on new capacity. AES benefits directly from both the IRA domestic clean-energy tax credit structure and the AI data-centre power demand surge. Management has divested legacy coal and gas assets at premium prices, redeploying capital into higher-multiple renewable projects. The combination of contracted growth, decarbonisation tailwinds, and strategic corporate PPA relationships makes AES a differentiated utility for ESG-aligned institutional allocators.

AES Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is AES a good options trade today?+
AES Corporation (AES) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 62/100, ranking it top 32% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is AES's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
AES's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 59%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past AES trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for AES?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the AES setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh AES's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If AES drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for AES?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to AES: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is AES outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. AES currently scores 62.
How does AES compare to other Utilities (Renewable Energy) setups?+
AES's sector rank and percentile against other Utilities (Renewable Energy) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Utilities (Renewable Energy) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
