A Message from Banyan Hill Publishing
Dear Reader,
Elon Musk is going after a market Morgan Stanley estimates could be worth $40 trillion.
But there's a much smaller company sitting at the center of his plans.
Jon Najarian says Elon has already secured rights to acquire up to 15% of it.
It's a tiny microcap.
It's trading for less than $25.
And if Najarian is right...
This could be the next supplier Elon takes off the market entirely.
Click Here to See Jon's Newest Prediction.
It’s critical you watch before December 8th.

Why Constellation Energy Jumped 10% in a Single Day
On Monday, Nov. 9, shares of Constellation Energy (CEG) rose 10.46% to close at $276.09, up from $249.95 on Friday, Nov. 6. The nuclear-heavy power producer had reported third-quarter results before the open.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings came in at $5.06 per share, up from $3.04 a year earlier, according to the company's earnings release. Nasdaq's analyst consensus, read on Nov. 10, was $3.90 per share from five estimates. Revenue was $9.55 billion, up from $6.57 billion a year earlier.
Profit growth was steep. GAAP net income rose to $1.84 billion from $930 million. Constellation credited favorable market and portfolio conditions and the addition of Calpine, a power company it acquired in January 2026, partly offset by higher interest costs.
What Was Behind the Move
The outlook stood out too. Constellation narrowed its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to $12.50 to $12.80 per share, raising the midpoint to $12.65 from $12.00 in its Aug. 6 release. A Yahoo Finance report put analysts' consensus at $12.22 and revenue consensus at $9.35 billion.
The release also highlighted a 20-year, 690-megawatt supply deal with Amazon, a 20-year Google agreement tied to about 890 megawatts of added nuclear capacity, and a conditional Department of Energy loan guarantee of up to $5 billion.
The stock had been under pressure. A Yahoo Finance energy report said power producers tied to the data center boom sold off after Democratic wins in the midterm elections.
The Bull View
Bulls point to a company that has raised its profit outlook twice this year, runs its nuclear plants at a 97.2% capacity factor (excluding the Salem and South Texas Project stations), and now has long-term deals with two of the largest tech buyers of electricity.
The Bear View
Bears note that part of the quarter's jump came from market conditions, which can reverse. Net interest expense rose to $217 million from $134 million.
As of the Nov. 9 release, the DOE loan was still conditional and the $715 million Rhode Island plant purchase needed regulatory approval. Political pushback on data centers is another risk. The Nov. 9 close equaled about 21.8 times the guidance midpoint.
What Comes Next
The Nov. 9 release did not give a date for the fourth-quarter report.
What It Means for You
A big one-day jump after earnings shows how much of a stock's price rests on expectations. A beat can lift shares fast, and a miss can drop them just as fast.
Utilities and power producers can also swing with politics and interest rates, not only with their own results. Concentrating money in one theme, such as AI power demand, adds risk that a single headline can hit many holdings at once.
