Expected move: +53%

Biggest risk

Bear: prolonged outages, weak merchant realizations, or adverse regulatory rulings compress margins and keep shares near the low-to-mid $300s.

Invalidation

Break below $342 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Bull: sustained nuclear outperformance, favorable capacity payments and policy support, plus merchant tailwinds drive consensus toward upper-end street targets (~$480), delivering meaningful upside from the anchor.
