Ameren reports increased Q3 profit and raises guidance

Ameren reported third-quarter 2026 earnings of $2.42 per diluted share, an increase from $2.35 in the same period last year. Net income attributable to common shareholders rose to $676 million, up from $640 million in the previous year. Revenue for the quarter reached $2.88 billion, meeting or slightly exceeding market expectations.

The St. Louis-based utility raised its full-year 2026 earnings guidance to a range of $5.35 to $5.55 per share, up from the previous range of $5.25 to $5.45. Additionally, the company established initial 2027 diluted earnings per share guidance of $5.70 to $5.90.

Growth was primarily driven by Ameren Missouri, the company’s largest regulated utility segment, which earned $582 million during the quarter compared to $518 million a year earlier. This performance helped offset weaker results in other parts of the group’s regulated footprint.
