Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect TLN to earn is materially lower (-10.2%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Talen Energy Corporation (TLN): score, valuation & FAQ
Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) is a Utilities - Independent Power Producers company that scores 54.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A), while D/E (D) rate weaker. On valuation, TLN sits about 75% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 31% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is TLN a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores TLN 54.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by Rev (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Talen Energy Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does TLN score 54.4 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). TLN earns its highest marks on Rev (A), and is held back by D/E (D). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is TLN overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $314.46, TLN sits about 75% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 31% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in TLN?
The bear case zeroes in on the company’s negative profitability – a -5.6% profit margin and -13.6% ROE – coupled with a lofty 5.84 debt‑to‑equity ratio and a beta of 1.67, exposing TLN to earnings volatility and financing strain if electricity prices soften. A sustained margin contraction or debt‑service crunch would validate the model’s “diluting shareholders” signal and crush the upside.
