AES stock was surging Wednesday after a report said the renewable power company was exploring options including a potential sale.

Shares jumped 14% to $12.66 ahead of the opening bell Wednesday. Futures tracking the S&P 500 were a touch higher.

AES is exploring its options, including a possible sale, amid potential takeover interest from large investment firms, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Several major private-equity firms and infrastructure investors have been studying AES after the stock lost about half its value over the past two years, according to the report.

AES didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Barron's.

Coming into Wednesday, AES stock had declined 37% over the past 12 months, dragged down by tumbling revenue as well as concern about the Trump administration's rollback of clean-energy tax credits.

In recent years, AES has brokered deals to provide renewable energy for data centers owned and operated by Big Tech companies including Microsoft, Google owner Alphabet, and Facebook parent Meta Platforms.
