“Lastly, Talen Energy had a rough quarter with shares down 19%. More than any other stock in the Alluvial Fund portfolio, Talen Energy trades as a proxy for AI/data center enthusiasm. Talen does benefit from greater investment in either, but I like Talen for its exposure to continually increasing power demand. After stagnating for two decades, US power demand is growing, and growing faster than we can add generation and distribution capacity. Talen management evidently shares my frustration with the company’s share price, because they just announced a bold plan to buy back a huge quantity of shares. Talen will borrow against its 2027 and 2028 guaranteed capacity payments, accelerating these payments and repurchasing $1.5 billion in shares by the end of March 2027. We have owned shares of Talen since the company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 2023.”

“Talen Energy (TLN), a name we have discussed at length in prior letters, continued to reward patient shareholders. As longtime readers know, we first purchased Talen in the second quarter of 2024 based on our conviction that the company's nuclear power assets would become increasingly valuable as data center operators sought reliable, carbon-free electricity.”
Talen Energy Corp. - June 2026
“TLN: Talen Energy outperformed during the quarter as regulatory progress at both PJM and FERC began to provide a clearer framework for serving large data center loads.”

“During the third quarter of 2025, the U.S. SMID Cap Growth Composite Portfolio returned 14.8% gross and 14.4% net of fees, respectively, compared to the 10.7% return of the Russell 2500 Growth Index. • The top contributors to relative performance in the period were Bloom Energy, SoFi Technologies, and Talen Energy.”

“Utilities and Financials were our strongest contributors. Within Utilities, our significant investment in Talen Energy Corp (TLN) contributed meaningfully to results.”
Talen Energy Corp. - June 2025
“Another top contributor was Talen Energy Corporation (TLN), a leading independent power producer. TLN boasts a diverse 10.7 GW generation portfolio spanning nuclear (48%), natural gas (41%), and coal (11%) assets across the PJM (northeastern states) and WECC (western regions). The electrical grid faces mounting pressure from rapidly escalating demand, fueled by transformative technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Consequently, the price of clean and reliable nuclear power is expected to increase significantly. TLN’s crown jewel, the Susquehanna nuclear facility, enjoys dual advantages: a tax credit safeguarding its cash flow downside and upside cash flow potential as power prices respond Page 2 AMG River Road Mid Cap Value Fund to new agreements. These benefits are exemplified by TLN’s recent contract with Amazon® and Constellation Energy Group’s (CEG) plans to reactivate Three Mile Island to meet Microsoft’s® demand. This strategic positioning drove several powerful catalysts in the quarter despite the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) rejection of the ISA amendment for increased Amazon Web Services (AWS) power capacity. The company demonstrated strong shareholder commitment by executing an additional $1B buyback, bringing total repurchases to 20% of shares in 2024, with $1.0B still authorized through 2026. The stock benefited from substantial passive fund demand, with over six million shares acquired in September alone following inclusion in five equity indices. Most importantly, the underlying business fundamentals remained robust, with expanded spark spreads driving increased generation margins across the fleet, while maintaining a conservative leverage ratio of 2.4x, well below the 3.5x target. The market particularly responded to the growing narrative around data center power demand, which is expected to surge from 25 gigawatts in 2024 to more than 80 gigawatts by 2030, positioning Talen’s existing generation capacity as increasingly valuable in a market facing significant supply constraints. We trimmed the position as it approached its assessed value.”
