NRG Energy 1Q Profit Climbs on Higher Revenue

Dow Jones

May 12, 2025

By Dean Seal

NRG Energy boosted its earnings in the first quarter as revenue surged on gains across its regions and segments.

The power provider posted a profit of $750 million, or $3.61 a share, compared with $511 million, or $2.31 a share, in the same quarter a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $2.68 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting $1.75 a share.

Revenue jumped 16% to $8.59 billion, topping analyst forecasts for $7.92 billion, according to FactSet.

NRG's retail energy business delivered strong margins and its generation fleet had high availability. Its smart-home segment performed better than expected, with 6% more customers and 4% wider margins, as well as record-high 90% retention.

The strong results come after the company said it will acquire a portfolio of natural gas generation facilities and a power plant platform from LS Power in a $12 billion deal.

Shares were up 7.4% at $128.10 in premarket trading.
