Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, AEP's dividend was covered by reported results (free-cash-flow payout 58%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings not reported
- Free-cash-flow payout58% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
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.

How American Electric Power looks technically
American Electric Power (AEP) is trading 4.5% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 617 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-02-06, breaking below its recent trading range.

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 4.5% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -4.5% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $130.78 | $130.78 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $126.69 | $126.69 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 11 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 11 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 129.51. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 30.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($120.52 to $128.86) — its "stochastic" reading is 5 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 slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 5.0 |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($106.44 to $138.69), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 55% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $117.73 to $118.76. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 55.0% |
| From the all-time high | it is 14.0% below its all-time high | -14.0% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $121.50 — a price it turned at four times since 2025-10-16, most recently on 2026-08-10. Since 2024-08-21 it has 8 such levels below the current price and 6 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $15.10 (set on 2002-10-10) | $15.10 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 700.9% above its all-time low | +700.9% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 59th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.64 between its high and its low — about 2.2% 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 | $2.64 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $120.82 and $132.54 — 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 | $120.82 – $126.68 – $132.54 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.2% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. 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 | 2.2% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (4.5% 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 | 2.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 8.5% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 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 2.1% of the share price. | -8.5% |
|---|
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 $129.03 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -6.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $125.86 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 17 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.9% |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $129.51.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $125.63 and $129.41 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-08-21.

Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for AEP — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly 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.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 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.
