Talen: The Race For Megawatts

Summary

• Talen Energy Corporation's aggressive commercial strategy and recent acquisitions position it to benefit from rising US electricity demand.
• The Amazon PPA expansion and regulatory breakthroughs signal strong future growth potential, enhancing Talen's credibility and long-term valuation.
• The Moxie & Guernsey acquisition boosts capacity by 33% and adds 25% to 2026 cash earnings, though added debt may limit buybacks or dividends in the short term.
• I rate TLN stock a Buy, as its commercial strategy is best leveraged to capture the ongoing supply-demand imbalance, despite natural gas price and regulatory risks.
