Bulls say / Bears say
NRG’s $12 billion purchase from LS Power will double its power generation capacity to 25 GW and is expected to immediately boost earnings, with its long-term EPS growth outlook raised from 10% to 14% (Reuters).
NRG outperformed Q2 2025 adjusted EPS expectations with $1.73 per share versus the forecast $1.56, driven by strong Texas retail margins and a 295 MW data-center supply agreement that could scale up to 1 GW, highlighting strong demand (Reuters).
NRG increased its 2025 full-year adjusted EPS forecast to $7.55–$8.15, raising the midpoint by $0.60 and signaling confidence in continued robust power demand (Reuters).
The LS Power deal increases NRG’s net debt by $3.2 billion, pushing long-term net debt from $9.81 billion to about $13 billion, raising concerns over higher leverage and interest expenses (Reuters).
NRG’s operating expenses rose sharply in Q2, climbing to $6.74 billion from $5.25 billion year-over-year—a 28% jump that could squeeze margins if cost pressures continue (Reuters).
NRG’s initiative to add 5.4 GW of new gas-fired capacity through partnerships with GE Vernova and Kiewit faces material cost inflation, with construction costs rising to $2,000–$2,500 per kW and lead times out to five years, threatening project profitability and delivery (Reuters).
