Executive summary
Ameren is a utility holding company that provides regulated electricity and natural gas service in Missouri and Illinois. Its utilities generate and purchase power, transmit it over high-voltage lines, and deliver it along with natural gas to homes and businesses. Revenue comes mostly from rates approved by state and federal regulators, which are designed to recover costs and permit a return on the capital invested in the system.
A dividend is paid, with a yield of 2.8%. Looking at the numbers, trailing revenue is $8.7 billion, and it grew 3.4% a year over the past three years. Operating margin is 24.9%, while return on invested capital is 6%. Net debt to EBITDA is 5.7 times.
StocksXray gives Ameren Corp an X-Ray Score of 58 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 68% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is profitability (67) and its weakest is growth (54).
Our fair value blend is $106.84 (range $93.64 to $126.06). At $106.08 the stock trades 1% below that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report.
