Constellation Reports Strong Q3 Earnings, Announces 20-Year Deal with Microsoft, But Shares Plummet
Constellation Energy Corporation’s third-quarter 2024 earnings are better than expected, driven by strong performance in its nuclear operations. The company’s GAAP net income of $3.82 per share is up from $2.26 per share in Q3 2023, while adjusted operating earnings are at $2.74 per share, beating last year’s $2.13.
On the strength of this performance, Constellation raised its full-year adjusted earnings guidance range to $8.00-$8.40 per share, up from its previous midpoint of $7.60. Despite the strong earnings, the stock is falling by nearly 7% in premarket trade.
A major development this quarter was the signing of a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Microsoft, supporting the launch of the Crane Clean Energy Center, which will repurpose the previously retired Three Mile Island Unit 1 as a clean energy provider.
Microsoft’s commitment to sourcing clean energy for its data centers aligns with Constellation’s goal of advancing reliable, emissions-free energy. The project, estimated to cost $1.6 billion, is expected to be operational by 2028, pending regulatory approvals.
Constellation’s nuclear fleet delivered a solid 45,510 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the quarter, slightly up from 44,125 GWh last year, with a 95% capacity factor for plants under its ownership. The company’s other energy operations, including natural gas and renewables, maintained high efficiency, with a 98.2% dispatch rate for its fleet.

Supreme Court to Consider Limiting Private Securities Fraud Suits Against Facebook and NVIDIA
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear appeals by Meta’s Facebook and NVIDIA as both companies seek to dismiss federal securities fraud class actions. The cases may set precedents, potentially limiting the ability of private plaintiffs to bring securities fraud suits against corporations.
Following recent Supreme Court rulings that limited federal regulators’ powers, some experts suggest Facebook and NVIDIA could receive a favorable reception from the Court’s 6-3 conservative majority.
Facebook’s appeal, scheduled for argument on Wednesday, involves a suit from investors who allege the company misled them by failing to disclose a 2015 data breach involving Cambridge Analytica.
The plaintiffs, led by Amalgamated Bank, claim that Facebook withheld critical information, resulting in stock losses. Facebook counters that it was not obligated to reveal past breaches in its risk disclosures, as these statements are typically “forward-looking.”
NVIDIA, whose appeal will be heard on November 13, faces a suit led by E. Ohman J:or Fonder AB accusing the company of downplaying the impact of crypto-related sales on its revenue. The plaintiffs argue that this misled investors, while NVIDIA contends that the claims fail to meet legal standards for securities fraud set by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
Legal experts note that weakening federal regulatory oversight could amplify the importance of private securities litigation as a means of holding corporations accountable. The Supreme Court’s decisions in these cases may have far-reaching implications for securities fraud enforcement.

NVIDIA Joins Dow Jones Industrial Average as Intel Bows Out, Shares Surge
NVIDIA stock is rising nearly 2% in premarket trading today, following its inclusion in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. NVIDIA is set to replace Intel in the 30-stock index this week, a change S&P Dow Jones Indices announced to better reflect the semiconductor sector’s growing influence.
This addition, while not expected to significantly drive NVIDIA stock purchases—since few funds track the Dow as closely as the S&P 500—underscores NVIDIA's position as a leading U.S. chipmaker.
Beyond the Dow inclusion, NVIDIA's stock is supported by continued investment in artificial intelligence (AI) by large technology companies. NVIDIA's Blackwell processors, pivotal for AI infrastructure, have attracted attention as tech giants increase their spending on AI capabilities.
NVIDIA, now the second-largest company in the U.S. by market value at $3.3 trillion, trails only Apple. While Intel shares are down 2.4% in premarket trading, NVIDIA's inclusion reflects its rising influence in both the chip and AI sectors as the company continues to gain momentum.
Political Power Plays
We already know Trump has vowed to "drill, baby, drill," which would be beneficial for domestic oil companies.
Cryptocurrencies could also do well, especially with Trump's pro-crypto running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. Plus, Trump is also bullish on cryptocurrencies, referring to himself as pro-crypto.
If you believe Vice President Kamala Harris will win the election, you may want to invest in all things green. That includes green energy and cannabis.
Movers and Shakers
Vast Renewables Limited [VSTE] - Last Close: $4.80
Vast Renewables is continuing its massive bull run from Friday, when it surged by 140%, to grow by another 90% in premarket trading today.
The stock is garnering so much excitement after the firm announced a major partnership with GGS Energy to develop a large-scale renewable fuel project, Project Bravo, in the Southwestern United States.
The project will use Vast's concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) technology to produce green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), both vital for decarbonizing shipping and aviation.
This partnership represents Vast’s first U.S. deployment and promises to reduce green fuel production costs significantly, potentially attracting long-term contracts from global partners.
My Take: Investors are optimistic about Vast's role in advancing green energy infrastructure in the U.S., driving the stock higher. Clean energy is a hot sector to be in right now, so it would be good to keep this stock in your sights for future growth.
Air Transport Services Group [ATSG] - Last Close: $17.40
Air Transport Services Group is rising by more than 20% in premarket trading today.
Reports have emerged that Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners is close to acquiring the company in a deal valued at $3.1 billion.
This acquisition offer would pay ATSG shareholders $22.50 per share, which is a 30% premium over its recent closing price.
Investors see this potential buyout as a positive move, as it values ATSG higher than its current market price, making shares more attractive and driving up demand.
My Take: An official announcement of the deal could be made as early as today, so keep a close eye on this stock throughout the day.
Viking Therapeutics [VKTX] - Last Close: $72.88
Viking Therapeutics shares are surging 11% in premarket trading following positive early results for its oral obesity pill, VK2735.
In an early-stage study, patients taking the highest dose of 100 mg experienced an average 8.2% weight loss over 28 days—6.8% more than those on a placebo.
Unlike current obesity treatments that require injections, Viking's oral pill could offer a convenient alternative for patients.
This promising development places Viking in a competitive position in the weight loss market, with other major players like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk also pursuing oral alternatives.
My Take: Obesity drugs are an extremely hot and competitive market right now, which makes VKTX a good stock to keep on your radar.
