S&P ups Ameren to positive

Standard & Poor's said it revised the outlook on Ameren Corp., Ameren Illinois and Ameren Missouri to positive from stable.

The outlook on related entity, AmerenEnergy Generating Co., remains negative.

The agency also said it affirmed all of the ratings on Ameren and its subsidiaries, including the BBB- corporate credit rating.

The positive outlook reflects the company's gradually improving regulatory risk and expectations that there is at least a one-in-three probability that this improvement will continue to materialize over the intermediate period, S&P said.

The ratings also consider Ameren's strong business risk profile and significant financial risk profile, the agency said.
