Should I Buy Ameren Stock? AEE Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Monday, March 3, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Ameren pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Ameren
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Ameren Co.:

Ameren Co. recently increased its quarterly dividend from $0.67 to $0.71, reflecting a commitment to returning value to shareholders. This increase results in an annualized dividend of $2.84, providing a dividend yield of 2.88%, which can be attractive for income-focused investors.
The current stock price of Ameren Co. is $101.74, which is near its 12-month high of $101.75, indicating strong market performance and investor confidence in the company's growth potential.
Analysts have a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" for Ameren Co., with a price target averaging $92.70, suggesting that there is room for price appreciation based on current valuations.
Institutional investors own approximately 79.09% of Ameren Co.'s stock, indicating strong institutional confidence and support, which can be a positive signal for retail investors.
Ameren Co. reported a return on equity of 10.34% and a net margin of 15.51%, showcasing effective management and profitability, which are key indicators of financial health.

Ameren
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Ameren Co. for these reasons:

Ameren Co. reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.77, which missed the consensus estimate of $0.83 by $0.06, indicating potential challenges in meeting market expectations.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.41, which suggests that it is more leveraged than some of its peers. High leverage can increase financial risk, especially in volatile market conditions.
Despite the recent dividend increase, the dividend payout ratio stands at 60.63%, which may limit the company's ability to reinvest in growth opportunities or respond to economic downturns.
Ameren Co. has a quick ratio of 0.44 and a current ratio of 0.66, both of which are below 1.0, indicating potential liquidity issues that could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Recent analyst downgrades, such as Barclays lowering its rating from "overweight" to "equal weight," may signal caution among market experts regarding the stock's future performance.
