Constellation Energy rose for a second day on Tuesday, adding 2.86 percent to end at $184.94 apiece as investors found the company a haven asset to mitigate risks from the ongoing economic uncertainties.

As one of the leading power producers in the US, CEG is set to benefit from the Trump administration’s plan to ramp up the energy sector to power the manufacturing and artificial intelligence industries.

Earlier this week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he envisioned AI data centers to co-locate facilities with power sources in a bid to support the expansion of the US AI industry.

“You’re going to co-locate power. You’re going to build a data center, and you’re going to build the power and resources to power it,” he said.

The department said it was looking to enable the construction of AI infrastructure by the end of the year and begin operations at data center sites by the end of 2027.

The DOE’s plan was aimed at addressing one of the largest challenges facing the energy sector: finding a sufficient supply of electricity to support the AI boom and ensure the US stays competitive with China.

Overall, CEG ranks 9th on our list of stocks that lead rally amid market bloodbath. While we acknowledge the potential of CEG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
