Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Talen Energy reported a full-year 2025 GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $219 million, compared with net income of $998 million in 2024. The loss reflects a $501 million fourth-quarter charge tied to a change in accounting for certain stock-based awards, while Adjusted EBITDA rose to $1,035 million from $770 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow reached $524 million. The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance of $1,750 million to $2,050 million in Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the pending Cornerstone Acquisition.
