NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG) reported Q2 EPS of $2.53, which may not be comparable to consensus estimates of $0.39 per share. Revenues for the quarter rose 6.8% year-over-year to $2.28 billion, missing consensus estimates of $2.43 billion.

The company is increasing its share purchases by an additional $250 million.

We are in a good position now to complete the simplification of our capital structure in a way that allows the Company to optimize the allocation of capital for the benefit of all of its stakeholders."

NRG Energy has a potential upside of 13.1% based on a current price of $23.66 and an average consensus analyst price target of $26.75.
