BofA Highlights 3 Top Buy-Rated US Power Stocks

BofA Identifies Opportunity in US Power Sector

Bank of America has highlighted a significant buying opportunity across three major U.S.-listed power companies. The firm's analysis indicates that recent sector-wide sell-offs stem from misinterpretations of energy policy rather than fundamental operational weakness.

Market Overview: A Policy Misreading

According to BofA, investors are mispricing risks associated with potential policy shifts. The bank argues that current regulatory frameworks continue to support long-term contracts with existing nuclear and gas assets, especially to meet rising demand from data centers. This creates a valuation gap for established generators.

Valuation Impact on Top Stocks

BofA’s report provides specific equity valuations based on conservative assumptions:

Constellation Energy (CEG): Valued at $210-$220 per share, citing durable cash flows and contracted assets.

Talen Energy (TLN): Valued at $300-$310 per share, highlighting its successful "contract first" strategy with data centers.

Vistra (VST): Valued at $130-$135 per share, with BofA viewing market fears of oversupply as unlikely.

Summary and Forward Outlook

The outlook remains positive for these incumbent generators. BofA emphasizes their structural advantage in leveraging existing assets to meet new demand, concluding that current stock prices do not reflect the supportive policy environment and strong market mechanics.
