- Meta (META) shares are still riding high after it reached its big deal to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy. The parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp signed a 20-year contract to buy 1,121 megawatts from the Clinton plant starting in mid-2027, when a state subsidy expires, according to a statement Tuesday. Constellation, the biggest US nuclear operator, and Meta didn’t provide financial details. Under the deal, Constellation will invest in boosting Clinton’s output. The company is also considering plans to build another reactor at Clinton, which already has federal approval for a second unit. The Meta deal marks a significant turnaround for the Clinton plant, which has enough to power about 1 million homes. Then-owner Exelon Corp. had threatened to close the site in 2017 as nuclear operators around the US struggled to compete with cheap natural gas and renewables. The company changed course after Illinois approved a 10-year subsidy.
- CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares fell after the cybersecurity company projected revenue for the current period that trailed estimates, in its first financial update since announcing it would cut about 5% of its global workforce. Sales for the second quarter will be as much as $1.15 billion, the Austin-based company said in a statement Tuesday, missing the average analyst estimate of $1.16 billion. In May, CrowdStrike announced that it would cut about 500 employees as it works toward a goal of generating $10 billion in annual recurring revenue. Its shares dropped at the time as Wall Street questioned whether the company’s move came from a place of weakness or strength. The firm said in a corporate filing at the time that it expected $36 million to $53 million in charges from the job cuts, with most of that coming from paying severance, employee benefits and related costs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
