Talen Energy Corporation: A Structurally Improved Business That Enjoys A Strong Secular Tailwind

  • I rate TLN a buy, driven by its prime positioning to benefit from surging data center power demand and the transformational AWS contract. The AWS power purchase agreement de-risks TLN's business, provides long-term cash flow visibility, and accelerates free cash flow growth potential. TLN's business model now deserves a premium valuation, with stable, contracted margins and multi-decade earnings visibility compared to peers.
