Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Scarce clean baseload asset - CEG owns the largest nuclear fleet in the U.S., producing ~90% carbon-free electricity with nuclear being the only large-scale, reliable, zero-carbon baseload source, making company’s assets irreplaceable in a decarbonizing grid.
- Policy-backed earnings floor with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) providing nuclear production tax credits (PTC) (max $15/MWh through 2032), guaranteeing that even if wholesale power prices fall, nuclear remains profitable, thus reducing downside risk and turning nuclear into a stable cash flow business.
- Attractive financial profile (stable policy-supported predictable FCF) supports dividend growth (Board targeting +10% p.a.), share buybacks and deleveraging.
- Structural demand tailwinds as U.S. power demand is set to accelerate from AI/data centers, EV adoption, electrification of industry and population growth.
- Upside from Calpine acquisition with management anticipating the transaction to be adjusted operating EPS accretive by >20% in 2026 and at least $2/share through 2029, adding more than $2bn in FCF before growth annually.
- Strong support from ESG investor base, which could see CEG command a premium valuation as a pure-play clean baseload leader, distinct from diversified utilities and oil majors entering renewables.
Key Risks
- Heavy reliance on policy support as a significant share of earnings outlook depends on IRA’s nuclear production tax credits (through 2032) and if political winds shift or subsidies are rolled back, nuclear fleet economics could deteriorate.
- Operational (nuclear plants are complex, capital-intensive and exposed to outages and extended downtime or unexpected repairs can erase profitability at individual units) and safety risk (any safety or regulatory incident could damage reputation and invite stricter oversight).
- Commodity price volatility, as earnings are sensitive to power and natural gas prices (though the company remains partially hedged), impacting margins.
- Limited organic growth opportunities given scarcity of feasible locations as sizable land and power capacity remain the biggest factors in site selection.
