AES' Earnings Growth Driven By Power Projects

We are reaffirming our $12 fair value estimate for AES after the company reported strong 2017 adjusted earnings per share and initiated better-than-expected 2018 EPS guidance. Reported 2017 adjusted EPS came in at $1.08, $0.06 higher than our estimate and the consensus. The variance versus our estimate was driven by lower corporate/other segment expense due in large part to a $0.06 per share reversal of reserves taken against reimbursements in 2016 that was recognized in the fourth quarter.
