April's historic market volatility signaled a likely new bull market, with VIX 60+ events historically leading to strong 12-month and five-year returns (40% and 140%, respectively). Alexandria Real Estate is undervalued: A high-quality biolab REIT trading at 7.5X cash flow, with a sustainable dividend and upside potential. AES Corporation: Extreme discount, not a trap: Trading at under 5X earnings (historically 12.2X), AES offers a well-covered 7% yield.
AES Corporation stands out with a 5.76% yield, 11 years of dividend growth, a low payout ratio, and a strong valuation grade from Seeking Alpha. AES is a leading power provider to U.S. data centers, has a large project backlog, and is poised for earnings and revenue growth as demand for electricity rises. AES's price action is bullish, with positive momentum, volume, and improving relative strength, making it a compelling candidate for my income portfolio.
