If you believe AEP’s faster growth and stronger margins will persist without worsening leverage, then AEP looks worth owning because it trades at a lower P/E than PPL and the valuation model still implies 15.4% upside.
AEP trades at 19.2x P/E versus PPL at 22.1x, suggesting AEP is cheaper on earnings despite a higher EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue multiple. The implied price of $147.48 versus the current $127.85 indicates 15.4% upside, but that sits within a mixed valuation context rather than a clear discount story.
