# American Electric Power (AEP) — Research Snapshot as of Oct 3, 2026

*A note on reliability: several sources disagree on key figures (guidance, capital plan, EPS, ROE, 52-week range, earnings date). I flag these at the end and favor the figures supported by the majority of primary/consensus sources.*

## Price and market context
- AEP (Nasdaq, regulated electric utility) closed at ~$119.57 on Oct 2, 2026, with a market cap near $65B and a 52-week range of roughly $112.5–$140.6.

- One provider reports a wider 52-week range ($106.12–$140) and a lower market cap (~$62.8B), so exact figures vary by source/date. [[15]](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/american-electric-power-quietly-benefiting-182134288.html)
