What Constellation Energy does

Largest US operator of nuclear power plants, also selling electricity and clean-energy products to homes and businesses.

Spun off from Exelon in 2022. Sells the output of its nuclear plants both on the open power market and through long-term contracts to big customers, including a deal to restart the Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor for Microsoft. Federal tax credits support nuclear revenue, so the fleet's value rests on power prices.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
