So Constellation is down almost twelve percent right now.

This is the worst intra day drop since April fourth, so you know, in the midst of Liberation Day tariff sell off.

Gevnova on the flip side is up more than six percent.

So basically this is who traders are picking as winners and losers from the emergency wholesale electricity auction.

So that would require technology companies to pay for power.

So an analyst said, gie Vernova is the clearest winner from these plans, as PGM transmission and distribution companies will have less pressure on bills and potential regulated distribution.

They're sort of mounting unease out the impact of Trump's policy moves, especially on the effort for these companies to IPO.

So they've been in government control since the financial crisis, and some optimism that lifted the stock last year was this idea of an IPO and so now with you know, efforts to release mortgage finance giants, you know, from the government control, people are just feeling a little bit unsure if that's really going to happen or what might you know come next Listen.

Speaker 1

This has been I feel like a difficult history.

Speaker 3

Right these quasi publicly traded entities, then not and then what do you do with them?

But I don't know.

I don't know if you continue to make them as publicly traded entities, I don't know how that kind of gets in the way of what their their mission is, right, if the focus is on profitability and everything else is a public I don't know.
