TeraWulf's Kentucky Expansion Adds Scale, Complexity, Oppenheimer Says

TeraWulf (WULF) acquisition of a 1-gigawatt data-center site in eastern Kentucky lifts its total development inventory to 3.8GW and reflects a creative structure backed by American Electric Power (AEP) that introduces regulatory and construction complexity, Oppenheimer said Tuesday in a report.A new customer for TeraWulf's 400-megawatt western Kentucky site is expected to be announced soon, with that location potentially expanding by another 1GW, the report said. At 3.8GW of capacity, TeraWulf trades at about $4 million per megawatt versus peers at roughly $5 million, and Oppenheimer estimates each megawatt could generate $10 million in equity value once completed.TeraWulf is targeting 500MW by H2 2028 and the remaining 500MW by H2 2030 at the new eastern Kentucky site, with AEP guaranteeing power delivery, Oppenheimer said. Capital needs and construction execution remain the primary risks, the report said.Oppenheimer maintained its outperform rating on TeraWulf stock with a $35 price target.Price: $25.63, Change: $+0.45, Percent Change: +1.79%

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers View On Shares Of American Electric Power Company To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target by $2 to $145, valuing shares of AEP at a forward P/E of 22.6x our next-12-month EPS view, a premium to its three-year forward average of 16.8x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.04 to $6.37 and 2027 by $0.03 to $6.88. AEP reported 63 GW of incremental contracted load by 2030 (up from 56 GW last quarter), with 41 GW in Texas alone backed by signed letters of agreement with hyperscalers. An additional 190 GW in the active development queue positions AEP among the fastest-growing regulated utilities. However, we believe growth is largely priced in and we see little upside as shares are up ~28% over the past year. Our downgrade to Hold reflects our view of lagging earnings growth compared to peers trading at similar valuation premiums over historical levels. We forecast an 8.2% EPS CAGR from 2025-2028 vs. the peer average of 8.8%. AEP currently trades ~26% above its three-year average P/E, with peers trading at similar premiums (+20%) expecting an average EPS CAGR of 11.7%.

American Electric Power Q1 Energy Delivery Mixed

US utility American Electric Power (AEP) on Tuesday reported its Q1 results, showing a decline over the year in energy delivered by vertically integrated utilities, and a rise in energy delivered by transmission and distribution utilities.For the quarter ended March 31, the vertically integrated utilities segment delivered 27.777 terawatt-hours of energy, down from 28.725 TWh in the prior year, largely due to a 26% drop in wholesale volumes.On the other hand, the transmission and distribution utilities segment delivered 26.990 TWh of energy in Q1, up from 24.194 TWh in the previous year, driven by a 33% rise in retail commercial sales.The company said its incremental load is expected to expand to 63 gigawatts by 2030, following new load agreements, totaling 7 GW, signed in Q1.American Electric also received a new contract award for 765-kilovolt transmission projects across SPP and PJM service areas.To support growth, the firm said it raised its five-year capital plan to $78 billion from $72 billion, improving the compound annual growth rate of operating earnings by at least 9% through 2030.Price: $137.14, Change: $+2.48, Percent Change: +1.84%

Research Alert: Aep Q1 Beat Led By Load Surge; Raises Capex Plan To $78b On Demand Wave

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:American Electric Power delivered strong Q1 results with operating EPS of $1.64, up 6.5% and beating consensus by $0.07, while revenue increased 10.2% to $6.02B, fueled by robust commercial and industrial load growth. The company signed 7 GW of new load agreements in Q1, accelerating total incremental commitments to 63 GW by 2030 from 56 GW previously. We view AEP's unprecedented load growth visibility and expanded $78B capital plan as key competitive advantages, positioning the company among the fastest-growing regulated utilities. Management reaffirmed 2026 EPS guidance of $6.15-$6.45 while projecting up to $16B in cost offsets for existing customers. The enhanced capital deployment is expected to drive nearly 11% annual rate base growth and operating earnings CAGR exceeding 9% through 2030. AEP's transmission leadership with $33B in planned investments provides substantial competitive differentiation across multiple regional markets.
