Why Constellation Energy Stock Blasted Higher on Wednesday
The U.S. nuclear industry got a boost from a new government pact with Saudi Arabia.
Overview
Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) stock was true to its name on Wednesday, as investors energetically traded it almost 5% higher. This was part of a broader rally in nuclear stocks, on the back of a splashy deal signed between the U.S. government and a key ally, plus reports of a new top-down initiative to spur power plant build-outs in this country.
The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it had signed a long-term deal to help develop nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia. The 30-year pact formalizes nuclear cooperation between the two nations and pushes several U.S. energy companies into leading roles in build-outs in the strategic Middle Eastern country.
