Trade CEG with leverage

Constellation Energy Corporation ( (CEG) ) has issued an announcement.

Constellation Energy reported fourth-quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $1.38 per share and adjusted operating earnings of $2.30 per share, with full-year 2025 GAAP net income of $7.40 per share and adjusted operating earnings rising to $9.39 per share, despite lower GAAP results versus 2024. Management highlighted strong nuclear fleet performance and market conditions, while noting that unfavorable nuclear production tax credit portfolio results weighed on earnings.

On Jan. 7, 2026, Constellation completed its acquisition of Calpine Corporation, creating what it calls the nation’s largest producer of electricity by combining zero-emission nuclear with natural gas and geothermal assets. The company also advanced its data center strategy with new power and infrastructure agreements at Texas sites, secured 20-year NRC license extensions for its Clinton and Dresden nuclear plants, obtained a $1 billion DOE loan guarantee to restart the Crane Clean Energy Center underpinned by a 20-year PPA with Microsoft, and raised its dividend 10 percent while signaling continued shareholder returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (CEG) stock is a Buy with a $460.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Constellation Energy Corporation stock, see the CEG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CEG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CEG is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by weak technical trends and cash-flow quality (negative free cash flow) despite solid underlying business performance and a stable balance sheet. Positive earnings-call execution and constructive corporate developments (Calpine integration and financing actions) support the score, while a high P/E and low dividend yield limit valuation appeal.
