Talen Energy buys new power plants, sending shares rocketing

Talen Energy, a power provider for hire with a focus on selling juice to the booming AI data center industry, announced the purchase of two gas-fired power plants that feed the massive PJM Interconnection grid, the country’s largest. Shares jumped on the news.

Talen has been a key beneficiary of the unusually buzzy power business, as it has focused on supplying energy to bitcoin miners and the AI energy trade. (You may have heard of it in light of its deal to provide nuclear power to some Amazon data centers.)

Over the last 12 months, the stock is up more than 150%.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
