American Electric Power reported Q2 2026 results on July 30, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $1.36, below the $1.48 estimate by 8.35%. Revenue was $5.4 billion, ahead of the $5.3 billion consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS fell about 5% from $1.43, while revenue rose about 6% from $5.1 billion.

The miss was the company's largest in the table. Over the last 20 quarters, American Electric Power beat the EPS estimate 13 times, and its largest beat was 12.78% in Q2 2025. Annual EPS rose every year, from $5.09 in 2022 to $5.96 in 2025, a gain of about 17% over three years. The first half of 2026 adds up to $3.00, about 1% more than the $2.97 earned in the same period of 2025. Q3 has been the strongest quarter in each full year shown, and revenue peaked here at $6.0 billion in both Q3 2025 and Q1 2026.

American Electric Power reported Q3 between October 27 and November 6 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether first-half earnings, nearly flat against last year, change direction.
