Earnings Call Summary
Constellation delivered a strong first quarter, earning $2.74 per share in adjusted operating earnings, mostly from Calpine accretion and higher capacity prices in PJM. The company also repurchased $335 million of stock at an average price of $285 per share. Management emphasized that regulatory clarity in PJM on large data center connections is expected by year end, which should unlock substantial customer contracting that has been paused pending those rules.
Guidance The company reaffirmed its full year earnings guidance of $11 to $12 per share. Management highlighted free cash flow of $8.4 billion across 2026 and 2027, with further growth to $11.5 billion to $13 billion in 2028 and 2029 before optional upside levers.
