Nuclear stocks are experiencing a significant rise at the start of 2025, driven by bullish analyst predictions. Constellation Energy's shares increased by 4% following a major $1 billion deal to supply nuclear power to various US government agencies. Vistra Corp also saw a notable stock jump, reflecting a broader trend of growth in the nuclear sector as demand for energy surges due to the AI boom.
Analysts believe that the recent deal by Constellation Energy could pave the way for more nuclear contracts, especially with tech companies that require substantial energy for their data centers. The increasing electricity demand from AI operations is expected to exceed current supply, prompting a need for expanded power grid capacity. This scenario positions independent power companies favorably, with predictions of continued stock gains in 2025.
