Constellation Energy (CEG) is back in focus after fresh attention on utility sector ETFs tied to AI data center electricity demand and recent Goldman Sachs commentary on its position in tight US power markets.

Constellation Energy’s recent interest around AI linked power demand comes against a mixed backdrop, with the stock gaining 5.07% on a 7 day share price return while the 90 day share price return declined 12.26% and the three year total shareholder return is 170.06%, suggesting longer term holders have seen very strong compounding even as near term momentum has cooled.

After a sharp pullback this year and a recent bounce, Constellation Energy now sits at a sizeable discount to both analyst targets and some intrinsic value estimates. The key question is whether the market is being sensibly cautious or too conservative on the AI power story.

Most Popular Narrative: 30.2% Undervalued

Against Constellation Energy’s last close at $251.38, the most followed narrative pegs fair value around $360.24, framing a sizeable valuation gap that hinges on long dated nuclear and data center contracts.

Growing demand for carbon-free, reliable power from large-scale customers such as data centers (Meta, Microsoft) and corporates (Comcast) driven by digitalization, electrification, and decarbonization goals is creating new, longer-term, higher-margin contracts with price premiums, likely resulting in significant revenue and earnings growth as more transactions close.

Result: Fair Value of $360.24 (UNDERVALUED)

However, that AI and nuclear powered upside for Constellation Energy still runs into real hurdles, including potential regulatory cost pressure on its nuclear fleet and revenue risk if data center demand or contract terms shift.
