MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Ameren
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Ameren Co.:

  • Ameren Co. recently outlined a $38.1 billion five-year capital plan and targets an 8% to 10% earnings per share compound annual growth rate through 2031, driven by rising electricity demand from data centers and infrastructure investments.
  • The company reported third-quarter earnings of $2.42 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $2.29 by $0.13, while revenue of $2.88 billion also exceeded expectations and grew 6.8% year-over-year.
  • With a current stock price of $113.74, Ameren Co. offers a dividend yield of 2.63% and a low beta of 0.42, providing a stable income stream and lower volatility compared to the broader market.
  • Wall Street analysts maintain a Moderate Buy consensus rating with a price target of $117.42, suggesting potential upside from the current trading level as the company raises its 2026 earnings guidance.
  • Recent institutional activity includes new positions from firms like Rakuten Investment Management and Mirae Asset Global Investments, indicating growing confidence in the utility's long-term growth trajectory.

Ameren
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Ameren Co. for these reasons:

  • Short interest has increased significantly, with shares shorted rising to 15.6 million in the latest reporting period, representing a 2.17% month-over-month increase and a short percentage of float of 5.66%.
  • Insider selling has been consistent, with executives like Michael Moehn and Theresa Shaw selling thousands of shares in recent months, including a 3.25% reduction in Moehn's position in November 2026.
  • The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.43 and a current ratio of 0.74, indicating a higher leverage profile and potential liquidity constraints relative to its short-term obligations.
  • Some analysts have recently lowered their outlook, such as Bank of America cutting its price target to $107.00 and Wall Street Zen downgrading the stock to a sell rating in late October 2026.
  • Despite the strong capital plan, the company's P/E ratio of 20.32 is relatively high for a utility, potentially limiting upside if earnings growth does not meet the aggressive 8% to 10% CAGR targets.
