What the Analysts think about NRG Energy
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for NRG Energy stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
NRG reported an adjusted EPS of $1.73 for Q2 2025, exceeding the analyst consensus of $1.56, fueled by strong demand and higher retail margins in its Texas business (Reuters).
NRG signed a 295 MW long-term power deal to supply data centers at two Texas locations, with the option to expand up to 1 GW, positioning it to take advantage of rising AI and cloud computing electricity demand (Reuters).
NRG increased its 2025 Texas residential Virtual Power Plant target from 20 MW to 150 MW, citing robust customer uptake and strengthening its portfolio in distributed energy services (EnergyChoiceMatters).
Despite delivering solid adjusted results, NRG posted a GAAP net loss of $104 million in Q2 2025, mainly due to unrealized non-cash losses from mark-to-market economic hedges and higher legal reserves, pointing to ongoing vulnerability from commodity hedging volatility (Reuters).
NRG's planned $12 billion LS Power acquisition will add $3.2 billion in assumed debt and depends on a $4.4 billion bridge loan, significantly raising NRG’s leverage and creating integration risk prior to the projected Q1 2026 closing (Reuters).
NRG shares dropped roughly 14% on the Q2 earnings release, even after it reaffirmed its guidance, underscoring heightened investor concern over earnings volatility and market expectations (Barron’s).
