Electric utility stock The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) is continuing to bob and weave, eluding the market downturn that's hit so many other stocks today. And what is AES's secret?
Earnings.
AES beat forecast earnings last night, earning $0.51 per share instead of the forecast $0.40 (although it missed on revenue, which was only $2.9 billion). Shares of AES were up more than 6% at one point today, and they're hanging on to a slim 1.2% gain as of 1:55 p.m. ET.
