Power company AES reports sharp earnings drop

NEW YORK (AP) — The AES Corp. reported a 76 percent drop in its first-quarter net income on Thursday, as the company's results were hit by a one-off settlement over a power plant, foreign-exchange rates and sliding revenue. Both earnings and revenue fell short of analysts' estimates, and the power company's shares dropped 3.2 percent in midday trading, losing 44 cents to $13.46. The power company, based in Arlington, Va., earned $82 million, or 11 cents per share, in the three months ended March 31, down from $341 million, or 44 cents per share, a year ago. On an adjusted basis, earnings were 26 cents per share.
