On October 7, Constellation Energy Corp fell 3.03% in pre-market trading, trading at $291.33 per share, with turnover of $6.7978 million. The decline follows a more than 12% surge the previous day after the company signed a 20-year nuclear power purchase agreement with Google, triggering profit-taking.
The news catalyst centers on Alphabet's 20-year nuclear power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, which is expected to add 890 megawatts of nuclear capacity to the PJM grid. The deal involves an investment of $4.3 billion and is expected to create approximately 7,200 jobs. Prior to this, the company had also signed a 20-year nuclear supply agreement with Amazon covering 690 MW from the Calvert Cliffs plant in Maryland. These agreements reinforce the scarcity value of nuclear power as a zero-carbon baseload source, though the sharp rally has prompted near-term selling pressure.
Constellation Energy Corp is the largest producer of carbon-free energy in the United States, operating nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar facilities with generation capacity sufficient to power 16 million homes and accounting for roughly 10% of the nation's carbon-free electricity.
