Why is American Electric Power Up Today?

American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEP)

AEP shares have moved higher as a wave of institutional buying followed the company’s recent Q1 earnings transcript, signaling confidence in its regulatory rate base and long-term growth outlook.

  • Rafferty Asset Management increased its stake by 12.6% in Q4, now holding 198,350 shares.
  • ProShare Advisors boosted its position by 20.2%, taking its total to 684,670 shares.

  • MUFG Securities Americas, Ethic Inc. and Measured Risk Portfolios all initiated new positions, collectively adding over 36,000 shares.
  • Smaller trims came from Sherbrooke Park Advisers (–16.9%), New England Asset Management (–15.4%) and Cresset Asset Management (–75.3%), but were outweighed by larger inflows.

The net result of these filings is bullish: heavy buying by major asset managers and new entrants is driving today’s uptick in AEP stock.
