Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Constellation Energy Corporation shares slipped 0.4% to $357.12 on Tuesday, ending the session lower as the market headed into the final trading days of the year. The move matters because Constellation has become a key proxy for bets that electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers will keep tightening U.S. power markets, lifting the value of steady, around-the-clock generation such as nuclear.

Constellation Energy stock today: CEG slips in thin year-end trade as Calpine deal stays in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:50 ET — Market closed Constellation Energy Corp shares slipped 0.6% on Monday, ending at $358.33 as trading volumes thinned in the final week of the year. The dip matters because Constellation has become a proxy for the U.S. power-demand boom tied to artificial intelligence data centers, which are pushing grid planners and regulators to focus on supply constraints and reliability. That backdrop has kept power producers in the spotlight even on quiet sessions, with investors balancing long-term demand themes against near-term catalysts such as regulatory milestones and financing steps tied to big deals.

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

U.S. utilities stocks are ending 2025 with a split personality.

On the other, utilities have quietly become one of the most important “real economy” beneficiaries of the AI boom, because every new data center and electrified industrial process ultimately needs one thing: reliable megawatts. With U.S. markets closed for the Christmas holiday on December 25, 2025, the utilities sector enters 2026 under intense scrutiny from investors, regulators, and consumers. Electricity bills are rising, grid operators are sounding
