Over the past two years, AES has repeatedly tapped the bond market via registered senior and subordinated note offerings, typically to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes. Prior offerings on Dec 4, 2024 and Mar 12, 2025 produced modest positive and negative single-day moves around the announcements, with an average reaction of about 1.08%.
