The Texas segment was the clearest driver of full-year momentum, with Adjusted EBITDA climbing $295 million to $1.88 billion on improved margins and supply cost optimization, helping push full-year Adjusted EBITDA to $4.09 billion, ahead of the company's own raised guidance range. On a quarterly basis, GAAP net income fell sharply to $66 million from $643 million a year earlier, reflecting unrealized non-cash mark-to-market losses on hedge positions that swung against the prior year's gains. The January 2026 closing of the LS Power acquisition, which added 13 GW of generation capacity, anchors NRG's 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $5.33 billion to $5.83 billion. Shares faced near-term pressure following a secondary offering of 14.3 million shares at $164 each, though the company announced a concurrent $300 million repurchase to offset dilution concerns.
Key Takeaways
- • Improved margins and supply cost optimization in Texas segment
- • Record new customer additions and strong customer retention at Vivint Smart Home
- • Higher monthly recurring service margin per customer at Vivint Smart Home
- • Higher natural gas wholesale margins and capacity prices in the East segment
- • Reduction of 11 million in weighted average basic shares outstanding
