Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, AEE's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 53%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout53% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payoutnot assessable free cash flow was not positive that year
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Ameren looks technically
Ameren (AEE) is trading 5.5% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 11 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 31, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 47, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 4 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 11 trading days ago.

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 47, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 46.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($98.18 to $102.37) — its "stochastic" reading is 87 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 87.4 |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($97.25 to $118.32), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 78% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $104.62 to $105.30. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 78.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 13.9% below its all-time high | -13.9% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.2% above a support level at $100.61 — a price it turned at 11 times since 2025-02-14, most recently on 2026-01-23. Since 2024-10-08 it has 5 such levels below the current price and 5 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.2% |

Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 67th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.52 between its high and its low — about 1.5% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.52 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $97.82 and $104.78 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $97.82 – $101.30 – $104.78 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.5% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 1.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (5.5% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 3.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 9 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 9 sessions ago |
| Since a bullish engulfing | today it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | today |
Price gaps
1
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.2% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.1% |

| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought), trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 6.3% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.9% of the share price. | -6.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 6% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $107.89 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 191 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 3% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $104.56 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 50 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.6% |

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

U.S. House trading disclosures →Institutional ownership (13F)
6 institutional 13F filers reported holding AEE as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 6
- Reported shares held 49,988,422
- Reported value $5,650,691,190
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 5 increased, 1 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade. Informational only — not financial advice.

Short interest (FINRA)
AEE had 12,135,965 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
AEE had 4.38% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 8.09 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 12,135,965
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 4.38%
- Prior settlement (shares) 12,437,837
- Reported change -2.43%
- Days to cover (reported) 8.09
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
