Constellation Energy stock ends shortened week higher as AI power rules lift nuclear trade
Constellation Energy shares ended a holiday-shortened U.S. trading week sharply higher, helped by a fresh federal push to speed electricity connections for large AI data centers and by renewed buying in power producers tied to the data-infrastructure trade. The stock closed Thursday at $274.06, up 2.58% on the day and 8.0% from its June 12 close. That matters now because there was no Friday session. The New York Stock Exchange closed on June 19 for Juneteenth, leaving Thursday’s tape as the market’s last mark before the weekend. Constellation outpaced the S&P 500’s 1.08% rise that day, while volume of about 7.0 million shares ran at roughly twice its 50-day average, MarketWatch data showed.
