AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO INC 8-K

What Happened
American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) furnished a Form 8-K on May 5, 2026 reporting its results of operations and financial condition for the period ended March 31, 2026. The filing attaches a press release with AEP’s Q1 2026 financial results (Exhibit 99.1). The company notes this information is being furnished — not “filed” — under the Securities Exchange Act, and therefore is not subject to Section 18 liability or to automatic incorporation by reference into other filings except as stated.

Key Details

• Item reported: 2.02 — Results of Operations and Financial Condition (press release attached).
• Period covered: Quarter ended March 31, 2026; press release dated May 5, 2026 included as Exhibit 99.1.
• Filing status: Information furnished (not filed) under the Exchange Act; cover page iXBRL tags embedded (Exhibit 104).
• The press release is the primary source for the company’s Q1 2026 earnings, revenue and management commentary.

Why It Matters
This 8-K signals that AEP has released its quarterly earnings information; investors should read the attached press release for the company’s reported revenue, earnings, and any commentary from management (CEO/CFO) on performance or outlook. Because the information is furnished and not filed, it has limited Section 18 liability and may not be incorporated into registration statements by default — investors should also watch for the forthcoming 10-Q or other filings for formally filed financial statements and disclosures.
