Talen Energy (TLN) is Down 23% This Year. But Mizuho Expects a Rebound

Mizuho initiated Talen Energy (TLN) with an 'Outperform' rating and $405 price target, citing its strong position in PJM power markets. The company's adjusted free cash flow yield is expected to reach 14% by 2028. Talen's strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including a deal with Amazon, position it to benefit from rising power demand, particularly from data centers. However, regulatory hurdles and potential AI slowdown pose risks.
