Utilities - Independent Power Producers Stocks
Utilities - Independent Power Producers: NRG Energy, Inc. owns the largest revenue base; Talen Energy Corporation has the fastest current growth.
How has Utilities - Independent Power Producers moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 160% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 67% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 1/9 >200d (−2) · 0/9 lead (−2) · EPS 3/9↑
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 9 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Is Utilities - Independent Power Producers outperforming S&P 500?

Digi Power X Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +20.8%.
Sector metric: — as of latest available · unclassified · direction unavailable.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Utilities - Independent Power Producers has underperformed S&P 500 by 17.9% over 52 weeks and 24.6% over 13 weeks. 0 of 9 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 4 of 9 beat the sector itself. NRG Energy, Inc. leads with revenue of $32,384 million, based on 7 of 10 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Kenon Holdings Ltd. has the strongest one-year price move in Utilities - Independent Power Producers at +58.7%. Digi Power X Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at -2.8%. 0 of 9 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Utilities - Independent Power Producers itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
NRG Energy, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 10 Utilities - Independent Power Producers companies compared here, at $32,384 million. Constellation Energy Corporation is next at $29,867 million. Talen Energy Corporation has the highest Revenue growth at 66.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 7 of 10 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: NRG Energy, Inc. is the scale leader at $32,384 million, 8.4% ahead of Constellation Energy Corporation. Talen Energy Corporation's growth is 66.3% from a $3,320 million base, with 15 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: NRG Energy, Inc. is the scale benchmark; Talen Energy Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: NRG Energy, Inc.'s growth falls below Talen Energy Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

What the numbers say: Vistra Corp. leads ROCE at 5%, 1.4 percentage points above Constellation Energy Corporation. Digi Power X Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +10.9 percentage points.

Investor read: Vistra Corp. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Vistra Corp. has the lowest PEG among the 10 Utilities - Independent Power Producers companies compared here, at 0.38×. Constellation Energy Corporation is next at 1.14×. Digi Power X Inc. has the lowest P/E at 2.25×, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 10 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Vistra Corp. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.38×, 66.7% below Constellation Energy Corporation. Only 2 of 10 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Utilities - Independent Power Producers comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 10 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 of the 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 10 Utilities - Independent Power Producers companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04.
