When it comes to the world of finance, staying ahead of the game is key. That’s why we are excited to bring you the latest news in the nuclear energy sector, particularly the recent surge in nuclear energy stocks.

On Wednesday, shares of nuclear energy stocks saw a significant increase after the largest electrical grid operator in the U.S. reported a ninefold increase in prices at its power market auction compared to the previous year. PJM Interconnection, which operates across 13 states in the Northeast, revealed that prices for power plants in 2025-2026 were at $262.92 per megawatt-day, up from $28.92 a year ago. This news has had a positive impact on companies such as Constellation Energy and Vistra, with Constellation Energy’s shares jumping more than 12% and Vistra’s shares rising nearly 15%.

Constellation Energy, with the largest collection of nuclear plants in the country, has seen a remarkable 62% surge in shares since the beginning of the year, while Vistra’s shares have doubled over the same period. Both companies are set to report their second-quarter earnings next week, giving investors more insights into their financial performance.

One of the driving factors behind the increase in electricity demand, leading to higher prices, is the rise in data centers. Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) recently reported a significant increase in data center revenue, reflecting the growing demand for chips to power data centers that support artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) has projected that electricity consumption from data centers, AI, and the cryptocurrency sector could double by 2026, further boosting the demand for electricity.
