Talen Energy Corp (TLN) saw its stock price surge 5.96% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, as the power company and other industry players rebounded from the previous session's AI-linked sell-off.
On Monday, shares of U.S. power, utility, and natural gas companies faced significant drops after the emergence of new AI technology from Chinese startup DeepSeek raised doubts about future U.S. electricity demand and tech spending. However, investors seemed to have reassessed the potential impact on Tuesday, leading to a recovery in stock prices.
Talen, an independent power producer, benefited from expectations of higher electricity demand and increased spending on energy infrastructure and grid modernization efforts. The company's position in the power generation sector could provide tailwinds as investments in energy infrastructure continue, helping drive the stock's rebound.
