Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (CEG)

The Co has good financial fundamentals, is partly regulated in its core business with a set rate of return, and the companys' look to renewables, their R&D budget, it will outperform the S&P. It is a foward looking Co also with good marketing.

Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (CEG) is the nation's largest competitive supplier of electricity. It ensures electric supplies to large commercial and industrial customers and is the nation's largest wholesale power seller. In addition, CEG also manages fuels and energy services on behalf of energy intensive industries and utilities.

Owing to the ever-increasing number of electronic products and extreme environmental conditions the demand for electricity has increased over the past years. This is expected to continue in future thereby benefiting the company largely. Moreover, the company’s low-cost nuclear and coal-fired generating fleet comes with considerable price advantages. In addition, the company is also at an advantage in its nuclear operations, where utilization is the key to profitability.

When many companies left the league, CEG grabbed the market share and is enjoying benefits from economies of scale associated with the merchant energy business. However, this move has exposed it to huge counterparty risk as the creditworthiness of its customers has deteriorated.

A major growth witnessed by Constellation has been a direct result from the newly deregulated states. However, due to volatile markets and energy crises, some states that had earlier planned to deregulate are rethinking over the issue. This can act as a barricade in the company’s future growth to some extent. Nevertheless, on the back of its superior quality fleet and the huge market share under its feet, the company is expected to march northwards.

Company invests in innovative energy related companies that will be in the forefront of growth for the foreseable future. Non carbon and renewable energy investments will be rewarded. Shareholders of the group include at least four ETFs and several mutual funds, and is not yet a household name.

Great financial team and they think out of the box!

A class act--a well-run and well-regarded utility with most of its non-regulated companies contiguous or nearly so to the original Baltimore Elec & Gas. (Except for Brazil and Australia, but the foreign holdings do well and don't dominate the thinking of CEG. It also has been an unusually steady stock for one with such big returns. I am seriously considering picking up some CEG; I've a hunch that even if the utilities segment dives again, with CEG I'll be satisfied to hold.

Insiders

Constellation Energy has had problems here in MD, but they are making money here like there's no tomorrow. Their plans for the future include nuclear, solar and wind, all of which looks like it's going to happen. Great CEO.

This utility has just announced an 11% rate increase for the Baltimore area. The electric and gas rates are soon to rise. If we had choice we'd go with the cheaper company - but since this is a monopoly and we have to go to them and pay the new rates - We might as well buy some stock and share the wealth!

Constellation is in the middle of a big turn around in recent years after selling off its entire fleet of natural gas generation facilities to move forward with enough capital reserve to go ahead with plans for a new nuclear generation facility in North America. With the purchase of the natural gas plant in Utah this past week the future for Constellation Energy Group looks very bright

Warren Buffet likes it. Need I say more. Worth $83.83/ share. Buy below $55.89/ share.

If Warren Buffett will buy at $26.50 per share, this sounds like easy money.

Dogpiling Everyday and Bravobevo from yesterday - buyer at $23.

Thanks EverydayInvestor

Largest company in there field in the U.S. with their hands in nuclear power sets them up for the upside. The fact that Warren Buffett saw major value in them for a fire sale price and they received another offer which almost doubled the companies value might say that this company has a pretty good upside.

large 4Q loss on merger costs has drug this stock down, after that blows over and 1Q comes out, this stock should perform well.
