NRG Energy shares closed at $97.40, up 4.17% on heavy volume of over 5.6 million shares, after the company reported third-quarter results that beat expectations. The company also announced a $4 billion sale, which it said supports its share buyback and debt reduction plans. Additionally, NRG's chief noted that turbine orders since the election have passed the 5.4 GW capacity limit of the GE Vernova-Kiewit joint venture, signaling demand running ahead of available supply. Separately, NRG agreed to sell six gas-fired plants to LS Power, a move that was viewed as neutral. The bullish earnings and sale news drove the stock higher, with the close near the day's high of $98.14.
