Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 21/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Growth

Aes Corp's revenue declined 0.4% year-over-year, from $12.3B to $12.2B. This contraction results in a growth score of 33/100.

Leverage

Aes Corp has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 11.74), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Aes Corp's current ratio of 0.77 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 10/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

While Aes Corp generated $4.3B in operating cash flow, capex of $5.9B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.6B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Aes Corp's ROE of 22.4% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 61/100. This is down from 46.1% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak
