NRG Energy is trading 4% down at $115.75 as broad U.S. equity selling intensified, with Treasury yields and oil prices climbing.

  • The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 0.72%, 1.11%, and 1.16%, respectively.
  • A Reuters report identified NRG Energy as evaluating a potential Pleasants Power Station acquisition, but coverage did not directly link it to the decline; the move appears primarily tied to global risk-off sentiment and renewed rate and geopolitical pressure.
