American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP)

CAPS Rating:
****

A public utility holding company whose public utility subsidiaries have traditionally provided electric service, consisting of generation, transmission and distribution, on an integrated basis to their retail customers.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

AEP is currently undervalued by at least 10% and is set to post big gains, pending passage of favorable legislation in Ohio, which has its greatest customer base. AEP has never missed a dividend payment and, as a utility, is one of the traditional bastions of any well-balanced portfolio.

AEP has a monopoly in Tulsa, I don't know about the other states that it operates in. That being said, they lost a lot of money because of ice storms over the past two years, as long as the weather doesn't cause too many power outages they shouldn't lose too much money. They lost a lot of money last year and hence they've raised their rates.It will be interesting to see what develops.

This just hit a 52 week low. There will be more demand for electric power and this company seems to be well managed.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
