AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO INC 8-K

What Happened

• American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) filed a Form 8-K on February 12, 2026 (Item 2.02) to furnish a press release reporting the company’s financial results for the period ended December 31, 2025. The filing states the information is being furnished — not “filed” — under the Exchange Act and therefore is not subject to Section 18 liability or automatically incorporated by reference in future registration statements.

Key Details

• Filing date: February 12, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 2.02).
• Reporting period: financial results for the period ended December 31, 2025.
• Exhibit included: Press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 containing the reported results.
• Technical note: cover page iXBRL tags are embedded in the inline XBRL document (Item 9.01).

Why It Matters

• The 8-K signals that AEP has publicly disclosed its latest earnings and financial condition; retail investors should review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific metrics such as earnings, revenue, and any management commentary.
• Because the information is “furnished” rather than “filed,” it carries different legal treatment under the securities laws; investors seeking full, legally filed financial statements should consult AEP’s periodic reports (10-Q/10-K) for audited or formally filed data.
