AES Named in High-Dividend Utility List; Lawmakers Target $33.4B Deal
AES was highlighted in a Benzinga piece that lists utilities with high dividend yields. The same week, U.S. lawmakers urged regulators to block a $33.4B acquisition of AES by a consortium led by a BlackRock subsidiary. The move reflects concerns about the deal's impact on the company and its shareholders. AES trades near the lower end of its 52‑week range and has a low P/E of 5.6, underscoring its value profile.
