"Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) is an independent power producer operating in the PJM market across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, where constrained supply and rising demand from data centers running AI workloads—particularly in northern Virginia—are supporting higher power prices and capacity. Talen also leverages its Cumulus digital infrastructure platform, which includes a hyperscale data center campus adjacent to its Susquehanna nuclear facility, providing carbon-free, low-cost energy directly from the plant and creating incremental revenue opportunities. While fiscal second-quarter operating results were modestly below estimates due to extended outages at Susquehanna, management reaffirmed full-year guidance, reinforcing visibility around future demand and grid revenues. The company also hosted an investor day in September, where management introduced its 2027 and 2028 outlook, which served as a positive catalyst for the stock."
