NRG Energy shares hit 52-week low after adjusted EPS misses expectations
AI Market Summary
NRG's adjusted EPS miss and a 26% drop in Texas EBITDA highlight margin pressure from higher supply costs, mild weather, and increased spending tied to new generation assets. While revenue and GAAP earnings improved on acquisitions and capacity pricing, guidance was maintained but sits slightly below consensus, reinforcing concerns about regional earnings resilience. The 52-week low move signals elevated risk premia for merchant power exposure.
