It reported a net income of **USD 361.8 million** and raised its full-year operating profit forecast to a range of **USD 500 million to USD 700 million**. Propelled by a 46% surge in membership to 2.96 million and expansion into 20 states, the stock has trended higher year-to-date despite a recent insider sale by a board member. ### Power Infrastructure: AES Corporation (AES.US) & Southern Company (SO.US) Mega-deals and AI-linked capacity demands are reshaping the energy sector.
