Constellation Energy Just Raised Guidance. Here's What's Driving It.

Constellation Energy raised its full-year adjusted operating earnings guidance by $0.50 per share to $11.50-$12.50 after reporting a 33% year-over-year increase in Q2 adjusted operating earnings. The company's strong performance is driven by its Calpine acquisition, which added 22 GW of power generation capacity, and major long-term power purchase agreements with hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta. With 55 GW total capacity and the largest U.S. nuclear fleet, Constellation is positioned to benefit from surging energy demand from data centers.
