Adjusted operating EPS came in at $2.14, fractionally below the $2.15 consensus estimate, a 0.69% miss, while revenue of $6.79 billion exceeded expectations by 24.78% and climbed 10.2% year-over-year from $6.16 billion. The headline earnings story, however, was complicated by a $505 million after-tax unrealized loss on fair value adjustments, which dragged GAAP net income down sharply to $0.38 per share from $2.78 in the year-ago period. On the operational side, the nuclear fleet ran at a 94.1% capacity factor with zero non-refueling outage days, underscoring the reliability that has made Constellation a focal point for data center power agreements. Management reaffirmed full-year 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $8.90 to $9.60 per share, with the pending Calpine acquisition expected to close in Q4 2025 and add more than 20% accretion to adjusted EPS in 2026.

  • Renewable energy capture of 96.2%
  • Fewer Nuclear PTCs net of state programs due to market conditions partially offset gains
