Constellation Energy posted second-quarter revenue of $6.10 billion, comfortably ahead of the $5.06 billion consensus, while GAAP earnings rose to $2.67 a share versus analysts’ $1.83 forecast. The Baltimore-based utility cited robust power demand and lower interest expenses for the outperformance. Nuclear generation slipped marginally to 45,170 GWh amid additional outage days, but the fleet registered a 94.8% capacity factor excluding the Salem and South Texas Project units. Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said Constellation is “adding megawatts to the grid” and introduced an AI-powered demand-response product aimed at helping commercial customers curb consumption during peak periods. The company has 1.1 gigawatts of incremental generation cleared by regional grid operator PJM and continues to press for bipartisan support of nuclear energy. Peer Vistra reported mixed results for the quarter. Operating revenue grew 11% year-on-year to $4.25 billion but fell short of the $4.72 billion market estimate. Net income from ongoing operations reached $370 million, edging past expectations, while adjusted EBITDA of $1.35 billion narrowly missed forecasts. Management pointed to rising power demand as a tailwind but noted profit was down 25% from a year earlier.
