Ameren Corp (AEE) Options

Any truth to the report of Ameren shopping their coal power plants , like they did in illinois a few years ago?
Do they want to operate with transmission only?

AEE buy 83.98

ascending triangle breakout on the weekly chart
not a fast moving exciting chart? then buy a ton to get the same profit perhaps
who knows might be more predictable also without the horde buying it and posting online

Wow, this company has so severely fallen on their face this week in the St. Louis area. No power over wide areas for 4 days now. There were some storms, but c'mon, it comes with the territory.

Cut your generous dividend if you need to hire what it takes to maintain.

The current service level is completely unacceptable.

Ameren downgraded at Barclays on Missouri regulation uncertainty

Ameren (AEE -0.1%) is downgraded to Equal Weight to Overweight with a $58 price target, trimmed from $60, at Barclays, which cites a lack of improvement in pending regulation in Missouri.

Barclays notes that language on improvements in utility regulation has been removed from Missouri legislation, and the stock trades at a 2% premium to its regulated utility group on the firm's 2019 EPS forecast.

While Barclays likes AEE's Illinois and FERC jurisdictions, without improvements in Missouri regulation it believes shares should be valued as a 5% premium instead of 9%.

Hope everyone's been good! Glad Ameren is going after some of the window project in all states! Transmission and substation!

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it has begun a special inspection at Ameren's (NYSE:AEE) 1,190 MW Callaway nuclear plant in Missouri to review the failure of control valves following a reactor shutdown on Aug. 11.

The NRC says inspectors will be at the plant operated by Ameren (AEE) for about a week to review the failure of three of four control valves that regulate water flow to the steam generators.

The NRC has said it was told of a similar problem in December 2014, and a third unrelated control valve problem earlier this year.

Ameren (NYSE:AEE): Q2 EPS of $0.58 misses by $0.03.

Revenue of $1.40B (-1.4% Y/Y) misses by $40M.

Ameren (NYSE:AEE): Q1 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.07.

Revenue of $1.56B (-1.9% Y/Y) beats by $20M.

Ameren

Dividend Yield: 4.50%

Ameren (NYSE:AEE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.50%.

Ameren Corporation operates as a public utility holding company in the United States. It operates in three segments: Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois, and Merchant Generation.

The average volume for Ameren has been 1,692,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. Ameren has a market cap of $8.6 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 16.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday.

TheStreet Ratings rates Ameren as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, increase in stock price during the past year, growth in earnings per share and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Multi-Utilities industry. The net income increased by 64.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$403.00 million to -$145.00 million.

Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Looking ahead, unless broad bear market conditions prevail, we still see more upside potential for this stock, despite the fact that it has already risen over the past year.

AMEREN CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AMEREN CORP swung to a loss, reporting -$4.01 versus $2.14 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.10 versus -$4.01).

The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.95, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.28 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.

AEE, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 2.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 11.0%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

$1.2 billion project

FutureGen Secures $1 Billion In Stimulus From Energy Department For Clean-Coal

Ameren Energy Resources Company, LLC (AER) —the holding company for merchant generation for Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE)—today announced that it has signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that could lead to repowering an oil-fired unit at AER's Meredosia Power Plant near Jacksonville, Ill. This would create the world's first, full-scale, oxy-combustion coal-fired plant designed for permanent carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture and storage.

Capture and storage of the greenhouse gas CO2 is critical to reducing these power plant emissions, which have been linked to global climate change. The project is part of the initiative known as FutureGen 2.0, which calls for transporting the captured CO2 over a new regional pipeline to a new, deep saline injection storage facility to be developed by others in Illinois. It is estimated that FutureGen 2.0 could eventually bring as many as 900 jobs to central Illinois.

Now that this agreement has been signed, Ameren and its partners, The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) and Air Liquide Process & Construction, Inc. (Air Liquide), expect to spend the next nine months completing Phase 1 of the proposed project, which includes the initial engineering, design and economic analysis for repowering this unit. In addition, during Phase 1, the partners will validate the project's scope, cost, schedule and commercial viability.

If Phase 1 results determine the project to be technically and commercially sound, then DOE would authorize Phase 2 of the project, which would include detailed engineering design, schedule and cost analysis as well as environmental studies to support the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and effluent permitting.

In parallel with the Phase 2 studies, the partners will approach the Illinois legislature for a change in state law to establish a cost recovery mechanism for the project. In addition, project leaders will address the issue of long-term liability with respect to the CO2 pipeline and sequestration, to be supplied by participants other than Ameren and its partners.

Successful completion of Phases 1 and 2 studies and enactment of the supporting legislation will be necessary before Phase 3 is authorized.

Phase 3 will include the procurement and construction activities necessary to repower the Meredosia Plant's 200-megawatt Unit 4. If approved by the Ameren Board of Directors, these activities could begin in the second quarter of 2012 with a target completion date in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In August, the three companies announced that they had been selected by the DOE to negotiate the installation of this technology, which is designed to produce clean energy from coal by capturing and storing approximately 1.3 million tons of CO2 each year, or 90 percent of the plant's expected CO2 emissions.

The AER plant would use an innovative coal-fired oxy-combustion CO2 capture technology, designed to use oxygen, instead of air, during combustion, removing the flyash, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide and leaving the flue gas composed of nearly pure CO2, suitable for compression and storage in deep geologic formations. B&W and Air Liquide have successfully pilot-tested coal-fired oxy-combustion at B&W's research facility in Alliance, Ohio, supported by Air Liquide's technology developments at its research and development facility in Newark, Del.

"We are excited to move forward with our partners—B&W and Air Liquide—on the next step toward building a near-zero emission facility—a generating plant that will serve as an invaluable testing ground for these critical new clean energy technologies," said Charles Naslund, president and chief executive officer of AER.
