The Quality Score for AEE stands at 4.2 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Ameren Corp in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Ameren Corp’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 52 Utilities companies with a published score, that ranks at the 71st percentile, above the middle of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 3.9 and a company needs 4.4 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Ameren Corp in line with the median.
Ameren Corp’s profitability score is 5.0 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.8 among 49 Utilities companies, that is in line with the group and the 56th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Solvency scores 2.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 49 Utilities companies is 2.9, so Ameren Corp is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 50th percentile. A low reading here is a question about resilience: how long the company could keep paying its obligations if earnings dropped.
Growth scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 47 Utilities companies is 4.9, so Ameren Corp is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 76th percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.
Ameren Corp’s efficiency score is 2.4 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 3.0 among 51 Utilities companies, that is below the group and the 18th percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.
Ameren Corp’s predictability score is 4.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 3.5 among 51 Utilities companies, that is above the group and the 74th percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
Growth at 5.8 is Ameren Corp’s best pillar and efficiency at 2.4 its weakest. The 3.4 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. Leading with growth is attractive as long as the expansion is earning a decent return. Weak efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.
Ameren Corp has no pillar below the median of Utilities companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 4.0 rather than 4.2. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Ameren Corp has a reading on every pillar.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
