  • Shares rose about 57.9% in 2025, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
  • Constellation agreed to acquire Calpine for $16.4 billion in equity value and $26.6 billion in enterprise value, adding natural gas, geothermal, solar and storage to its nuclear fleet.
  • The company announced a second 20-year power purchase agreement with a “Magnificent Seven” AI hyperscaler.
  • Projected 2035 peak load climbed roughly 81% in ERCOT and 31% in PJM, reinforcing demand for firm, round-the-clock power.
