The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. The stock picked up sharply from the near-flat trend of $10.58 to $11.04 in the past one-month time frame.
The stock was driven after Jeffrey Ubben joins as the company’s Board of Director, and is likely to enhance the value of renewable energy assets.
The company has not seen any estimate revisions over the past month and the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.
