Here’s whether AES Corporation (AES) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); strong 1-year return of +45.3%. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-0.76% over 10 days); RSI 87 — overbought, elevated pullback risk. Currently 18.0% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
AES is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($14.02) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($14.90), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. With an RSI of 87.3, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +45.3% compares to +35.1% for SPY (beat the market by 10.2%).
