Constellation Energy (CEG) narrows 2025 outlook after Q3 EPS miss; CEG stock slips today (07.11.2025)

by
7 November 2025

Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG) reported third‑quarter results this morning, tightening its full‑year 2025 earnings guidance after a modest earnings miss. Adjusted operating EPS came in at $3.04, below the LSEG consensus (~$3.12), on $6.57 billion in revenue, up slightly year over year. The company now sees 2025 adjusted EPS of $9.05–$9.45 (midpoint $9.25). Shares traded lower in early action on the update. [1]

Key takeaways (as of 07.11.2025)

  • EPS miss, revenue essentially flat: Q3 adjusted operating EPS $3.04 vs. consensus near $3.12; revenue $6.57B vs. $6.55B a year ago. GAAP EPS $2.97. Guidance narrowed to $9.05–$9.45 for FY25. [2]
  • Stock reaction: CEG shares traded lower intraday following the print (see live chart above). External coverage also noted a break below recent technical levels. [3]
  • Operations strong: Nuclear fleet output rose to 46,477 GWh with a 96.8% capacity factor (ex‑Salem/STP). Management cited “favorable market and portfolio conditions,” partly offset by lower nuclear PTC revenue tied to higher anticipated gross receipts. [4]
  • Hydro milestone: Maryland issued a revised water quality certification for the Conowingo Dam, clearing the path to re‑licensing after a $340 million settlement announced last month. [5]

What moved the numbers

Earnings vs. expectations. Constellation posted adjusted operating EPS of $3.04; analysts were looking for roughly $3.12. Total operating expenses increased about 7.8% year over year to $5.48B, pressuring margins, while revenue ticked up to $6.57B from $6.55B. [6]

Guidance tightened. Full‑year 2025 adjusted EPS was narrowed to $9.05–$9.45 (from $8.90–$9.60 previously). Several outlets noted the midpoint sits below some street estimates (e.g., FactSet near $9.49). [7]

Fleet performance. Nuclear operations remained a bright spot: output climbed to 46,477 GWh and the capacity factor improved to 96.8% (ex‑Salem/STP). Planned refueling days fell to 23 (from 37 a year ago), and non‑refueling outage days dropped to 5 (from 20). [8]

Strategy & policy context investors are watching

Conowingo Dam re‑licensing back on track. In October 2025, Maryland’s Department of the Environment issued a revised Water Quality Certification for Conowingo—part of a $340 million settlement addressing sediment, debris, fish passage and other Chesapeake Bay impacts. Constellation highlighted the certification in today’s release as a key step to long‑term operation of the hydro facility. [9]

Maryland build‑out plan (Nov. 4). Earlier this week, Constellation proposed up to 5,800 MW of new generation and battery storage in Maryland to meet rising demand—~800 MW battery storage, >700 MW fast‑track gas units convertible to hydrogen, uprates and potential 2,000 MW of next‑gen nuclear at Calvert Cliffs, plus a 1,000 MW “virtual power plant” via expanded demand response. [10]

Calpine acquisition still approaching the finish line. The company reiterated it is “approaching the close” of the Calpine transaction. Key approvals—including FERC—have been secured; the deal has been expected to close in Q4 2025, pending remaining conditions. [11]

Market reaction and coverage

Financial press framed the day as a mixed report: healthy operations and secular demand tailwinds for data‑center power offset by the EPS shortfall and tighter guidance. Some technical analysts noted the stock slipping below a recent buy point on the news. [12]

By the numbers (Q3 2025)

  • GAAP EPS:$2.97; Adjusted operating EPS:$3.04 (vs. $2.74 in Q3’24)
  • Revenue:$6.57B (vs. $6.55B in Q3’24)
  • Nuclear output:46,477 GWh; Capacity factor:96.8% (ex‑Salem/STP)
  • Guidance (FY25):$9.05–$9.45 adjusted EPS
  • Earnings call:Today at 10:00 a.m. ET (webcast on the investor site)
    [13]

What’s next

  • Management webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET with slides posted to the investor site; look for color on price hedges, outage cadence, and Calpine integration milestones. [14]
  • Regulatory milestones to watch: final FERC licensing steps for Conowingo and remaining closing conditions for Calpine. [15]

Context & recent corporate actions

  • Dividend: The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3878 per share (record Nov. 17, payable Dec. 5, 2025). [16]

  • Piper Sandler Cuts Kemper Price Target to $35 and Maintains Underweight View on KMPR
    November 7, 2025, 3:46 PM EST. Piper Sandler trimmed Kemper's price target from $50 to $35 and kept an underweight rating on KMPR, signaling a cautious outlook. The downgrade coincides with a mixed analyst landscape, including JMP Securities cutting its target to $75, while Cowen maintained a buy rating and Raymond James moved to market perform. Kemper traded around $36 after a 14.9% drop, with a P/E near 6.8 and a debt-to-equity of 0.32. In its latest quarter the insurer posted $0.33 per share versus consensus of $1.33 on $1.24B in revenue. Nevertheless, Kemper's board authorized a $500M stock buyback, potentially signaling capital return despite the softer near-term outlook. Market consensus from MarketBeat shows an average rating of Hold and a near-term target of about $63.50 for KMPR.
  • Nvidia on track to end the week down more than 10% as AI valuations weigh on sentiment
    November 7, 2025, 3:44 PM EST. Friday's trading saw Nvidia (NVDA) slide as part of a tech-led rout tied to concerns about AI valuations and the possibility of an AI bubble. The stock is on track to post a five-day decline of over 10%, reflecting jitters around lofty multiples in AI-related names. Traders cited caution after stronger peers' results and questions about whether price levels have stretched beyond fundamentals. Executives' remarks on the AI race, including perspectives on China's position, fueled debate over sustainability. As headlines test sentiment, NVDA and other Big Tech names face scrutiny over how far the rally can run without a material pullback in valuations.
  • Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) Valuation After Q3 Miss and Guidance Cut
    November 7, 2025, 3:42 PM EST. Tecnoglass (TGLS) posted a Q3 miss and trimmed its full-year revenue outlook due to project invoicing delays. The stock slipped about 18% in the last month, though longer-term holders have meaningful gains (118% over three years; 828% over five). Analysts present a split view: a fair value near $90.75 argues for substantial upside, while the SWS DCF model places fair value closer to $46.48, suggesting the market may be pricing in most of the growth. The key question is whether the recent setback creates an attractive entry or reflects slower momentum. The bull case hinges on ongoing urbanization trends, aggressive geographic expansion (notably Western U.S. markets), and a growing backlog that could sustain revenue into 2025+. Key risks include higher operational costs and potential shifts in construction demand.
  • 18 of 24 Latest 13F Filers Hold META; Hedge Funds Add 2.3M Shares
    November 7, 2025, 3:40 PM EST. Holdings Channel reviews the March 31, 2025 13F filings and finds META held by 18 of the 24 funds in this batch. The piece cautions that 13F data only shows long positions and omits shorts, so the full stance may differ. Across the group, several funds increased META shares from 12/31/2024 to 3/31/2025, while others trimmed or started new positions. The aggregate change among the funds points to a net rise in META exposure, with wide dispersion in size among filers. In comparing the 3/31 period to 12/31/2024, the total share count rose by about 2.3 million shares, underscoring active repositioning among hedge funds even as a single batch narrows the lens on overall market bets.
  • GLP Falls into Oversold Territory as RSI Hits 25.9; Possible Entry Point Near 52-Week Support
    November 7, 2025, 3:38 PM EST. Global Partners LP (GLP) slid into oversold territory on Friday after its RSI fell to 25.9, well below the 30 threshold. The energy stock traded as low as $39.70 in its 52-week low, with a current last trade of about $42.54 and a 52-week high of $60. The market's RSI benchmark for energy names sits around 50.1, highlighting GLP's relative weakness versus peers and key indicators like WTI crude and natural gas. A bullish trader might view the sub-30 RSI as a potential sign of exhausted selling and look for a favorable entry point on rallies. The stock was down roughly 4.4% on the day, with comparison to year-long trend implied by the chart.
