Jim Cramer on Talen Energy: “That’s Not for Me”

Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) was among the stocks Jim Cramer covered on Mad Money as he discussed the wave of IPOs being the market’s possible biggest threat. A caller inquired about the stock, and here’s what Cramer had to say in response:

I’ll tell you, if it hasn’t gone up yet with this market that we’ve got because of Iran, I don’t know how well you’re going to do. I mean, look, it’s a power infrastructure play without a good yield. That’s not for me. Some of them that I really like do have good yields.

Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) operates a large network of power plants that generate and sell electricity using a mix of nuclear and fossil fuel sources. During the January 9 episode, a caller noted a recent period of difficulty with the company’s stock, after a successful run where they executed several profitable trades throughout 2025. Cramer replied:

No, no, I think you’re okay. I actually… I think you’re okay. It’s come down, I know it’s come down a lot, but it’s only down 1% for the year. I think you’re fine. As a matter of fact, I actually would be inclined to to buy some here. I don’t want you to sell that stock.
