NRG Energy's stock up 1,046% in 10 years despite 2026 setbacks and a big bet on a Texas data center.

NRG Energy transformed from a coal-heavy power generator to a diversified energy and smart home company, boosting its stock by over 1,000% in the past decade. Despite a tough 2026 with a nearly 39% stock drop and earnings misses, the company’s acquisitions and expansion doubled its customer base and power fleet. The upcoming Texas data center project could generate $500 million in annual EBITDA, potentially turning the year around. Investors await the Q3 report on November 9, 2026, to see if the project and financial targets hold up.

NRG Energy shares are currently priced at USD 97.28 on Pluang, showing a positive 1-day change of 2.11%. The stock's market cap stands at $20.03 billion, with all recent Pluang orders being buys. These figures are as of October 29, 2026, 02:02 WIB.
