Reporting Q4 2025 revenue of $6.07 billion, Constellation Energy surpassed analysts’ expectations that it would report $5.6 billion on the top line. Similarly, the company posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.30 — better than the $2.25 that analysts had anticipated.

Shane Smith, Constellation Energy’s chief financial officer, lauded the company’s recent performance, stating, “For the fourth consecutive year, Constellation delivered full-year earnings that exceeded the midpoint of our guidance range, reflecting strong commercial execution and industry-leading performance from our nuclear fleet.”

On March 31, Constellation plans on providing investors with the company’s 2026 guidance.

While Constellation Energy stock is powering higher today, those with nuclear energy stocks on their radars shouldn’t feel dissuaded from considering a position. Shares are currently trading at a reasonable 17.4 times operating cash flow. For those seeking a more conservative approach to gaining exposure to the burgeoning nuclear energy industry, Constellation Energy stock warrants serious consideration.
