## Executive Summary
AEP remains a quality business, but not yet a clear Buffett-style bargain. The franchise is durable, demand is resilient, and long-term grid/data-center/electrification tailwinds are real. But the key risk is not stock volatility; it is whether heavy capex truly becomes attractive per-share value for existing owners after regulation, financing, and recovery timing. At about 20x earnings, the market already gives AEP credit for much of its quality. That leaves limited margin of safety if owner-earnings conversion stays weak.
Verdict: WATCH.
