Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$97.88

-30.1% from spot

The modal base path reflects reaffirmed management guidance for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA ($6.8B-$7.6B) and 2027 Adjusted EBITDA ($7.4B-$7.8B),. Integrated retail revenue matches physical generation output, delivering 18.30% initial operating margins that gradually normalize toward 16.16% by FY2030 as regional supply expands. Ongoing share repurchases exhaust the remaining ~$1.2B authorization by 2027, driving modest per-share accretion.

Reaffirmed 2026 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA delivers within $6.8B-$7.6B
2027 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA achieves $7.4B-$7.8B midpoint opportunity
Operating margin fades from 18.30% in FY2026 to 16.16% in FY2030
Terminal growth rate of 2.50% and WACC of 8.61%

Bull20%

Price target

$144.83

+3.4% from spot

In the bull scenario, accelerated AI data center energization, sustained tight PJM capacity auction clears, and commercial bilateral contracts drive margins above base projections. Unmodeled earnings contributions from the pending Cogentrix acquisition and Meta PPAs provide operational upside beyond the $7.4B-$7.8B 2027 Adjusted EBITDA midpoint opportunity,. Incumbent generation assets capture elevated scarcity rents as equipment inflation and interconnection delays restrict competing greenfield supply,.

ERCOT load growth reaches or exceeds 6% annually through 2030
2027 Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA clears above $7.8B with unmodeled contributions from Cogentrix and Meta PPAs,
Terminal P/E multiple expands reflecting clean baseload scarcity premiums
