Recent discussions on X about NRG Energy, Inc. have centered on the company's latest financial performance, particularly following a strong earnings report for Q1 2025 that exceeded expectations. Many users have expressed enthusiasm over the stock's upward momentum, pointing to a significant gap up in price and high trading volume as indicators of strong market interest. The conversation also touches on NRG's strategic pivot toward data centers, which some see as a key driver of future growth.
