NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG) Could Go Up In H2 2025, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) is a large American energy company that produces electricity, trades in commodities, and conducts other operations. The shares have gained a massive 70% year-to-date, primarily on the back of a 31% jump in May ahead of which the stock had gained a considerably less 28%. NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG)'s shares jumped in May after the firm's first-quarter revenue and EPS beat analyst estimates and the firm announced a massive $12 billion deal to acquire power generation assets which led it to increase its long-term growth rate to 14% from 10%. For Cramer, NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) was part of his top stocks to watch for the second half due to growing power demand. His comments were brief: 'NRG will be up, you need a lot of power.' Close up image of an engineer inspecting the control panel of a modern power plant. Cramer mentioned NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG)'s exposure to the technology industry in June. Here is what he said: 'Then there's NRG. I mean, it's part of a small group of utilities known for their relatively clean power, and a lot of tech companies want clean energy for their data centers. NRG works directly with them, and it also partners with GE Vernova, a Charitable Trust holding that makes the turbines for their power plants.'
