Analyst Explains His Bullish Case for Constellation Energy (CEG)

We recently published a list of Top 10 AI Stocks to Watch In February. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) stands against other top AI stocks to watch in February.

Barry Bannister, Stifel’s chief equity strategist, said in a latest program on CNBC that the macroeconomic factors are finally catching up to the AI-led bull market. He expects inflation to remain sticky and no further rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in the short term. The analyst also rejected the notion that the massive tech selloff after the launch of DeepSeek was a buying opportunity.

“Over 30 years ago, we used to joke about how technology was such a displacement event business where new competitors would come in and destroy the entrenched stocks, that it deserved a lower multiple because of that. It’s a short life cycle business that’s got a very short competitive advantage period. But investors forgot about that. They bid up the stocks. The growth relative to value large-cap total return, one divided by the other on a 10-year compound basis, reached the absolute outer limits of the past 90 years. And that exact limit line is exactly where it peaked—the price earnings multiple and the outperformance of growth. So, for us, it’s just a very bubbly market that’s just gotta take some air out of it.”

Joe Tigay from Rational Equity Armor Fund talked about the AI-related reasons to be excited about Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) during a latest program on Schwab Network:

“Constellation, you’re going to need a company to be able to have mobile energy centers, really quick on-demand popup energy centers. So, going to be new power plants built specifically for massive data centers. So, that’s where people are betting on Constellation here, and absolutely, they are crushing it so far this year.”

Overall, CEG ranks 9th on our list of top AI stocks to watch in February.
