Alluvial Capital Management stated the following regarding Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) was the biggest contributor to this quarter’s returns. In June, the company announced an agreement with Amazon to provide 1,920 megawatts of nuclear power to Amazon datacenters through 2042. The agreement provides a highly valuable long-term earnings stream for Talen. When power delivery reaches scale in 2032, Talen expects the agreement to provide incremental annual free cash flow per share of at least $7. I think this guidance will prove far too conservative based on continued share repurchases. Talen continues to shift its activities away from merchant power production and toward providing clean energy to datacenters on long-term, highly predictable contracts. As a result, investors are starting to value Talen shares less like those of an electricity wildcatter and more like a quasi-regulated utility with a blue-chip end customer. Every business would love to find a way to make more money and take less risk doing it, and that’s exactly what Talen is achieving.
