Summary
American Electric Power reported second-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $713 million, or $1.31 per share, down from $1.226 billion, or $2.29 per share, a year earlier, and raised its full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25–$6.55 per share from $6.15–$6.45. CEO Bill Fehrman attributed the year-over-year decline to the 2025 transmission minority interest sale and the timing of tax-related items, while reaffirming 7%–9% annual operating earnings growth through 2030.
