Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Strategic asset acquisitions/sales can improve trading portfolio efficiency, unlock value, and potentially raise near-term cash flow. The $715m RISEC exit provides a meaningful, near-term gain; Hunlock adds PJM capacity, underpinning trading and supply commitments. Historically, similar asset-rotation moves can support stock sentiment when close windows are in view.
