Constellation Energy posted Q1 2026 adjusted operating EPS of $2.74, beating the $2.56 consensus estimate by roughly 7% and representing a $0.60 per share improvement over the prior-year period. GAAP earnings came in at $4.49 per share. Management affirmed full-year 2026 adjusted operating EPS guidance of $11.00, $12.00, a range that implies roughly 20%+ growth at the midpoint and reflects the first full year of Calpine consolidation. The quarter's outperformance was driven primarily by Calpine accretion, tracking toward the guided ~$2.00 per share full-year contribution, higher PJM capacity prices, and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by heavier planned nuclear refueling outages, lower ZEC pricing, and elevated ancillary charges from Winter Storm Fern.
