FTS

Calpine Corporation was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 11% on the day.

This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $13.50 to $14.57 in the past one-month time frame.

The upside was driven by rumors of a potential buyout of the company by Energy Capital.

The recent price action is encouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
