Current case
- Strongest support
US electricity demand projected to expand 60% through 2045 on AI and EV loads
Increased demand for baseload, carbon-free electricity, enhancing pricing power and capacity utilization for existing nuclear assets. Potential for new nuclear buildouts, though capital costs are a concern.
· Moves long term revenue growth rate, ebitda margin expansion, discount rate (if risk perception changes)
- Main threat
Fed Chair Warsh: 'Only a Target, and It's 2%,' Rejects Soft Inflation Goal
Higher term premium and discount rates increase the cost of capital for capital-intensive utilities, reducing the present value of future cash flows and making their dividend yields less attractive relative to risk-free rates.
· Moves discount rate (wacc), growth rate of regulated assets, relative attractiveness of dividend yield
- Open question
Asia Leads Global Nuclear Buildout with 57 of 77 Reactors Under Construction
As a major nuclear power operator in the US, CEG benefits from the broader positive sentiment towards nuclear power and potential policy support, but limited US construction means no direct expansion benefit from this specific event.
· Moves regulatory environment, power price assumptions, asset life extension potential
