Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
(Loss)/Income Per Share (Loss)/Income Per Share
Basic (loss)/income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss)/income less cumulative dividends attributable to preferred stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issued and treasury shares repurchased during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted (loss)/income per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic (loss)/income per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period when there is net income. The relative performance stock units and non-vested restricted stock units are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic (loss)/income per share. However, these instruments are included in the denominator for purposes of computing diluted income per share under the treasury stock method for periods when there is net income. The Convertible Senior Notes were convertible, under certain circumstances, into cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock. The Company is including the potential share settlements, if any, in the denominator for purposes of computing diluted income per share under the if converted method for periods when there is net income. The potential shares settlements are calculated as the excess of the Company's conversion obligation over the aggregate principal amount (which will be settled in cash), divided by the average share price for the period.
NRG's basic and diluted (loss)/income per share is shown in the following table:

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had 3 million of outstanding equity compensation instruments and 4 million of potential share settlement of the Convertible Senior Notes that were not included in the computation of the Company’s diluted loss per share. For all other periods presented, the Company had an insignificant number of outstanding equity instruments that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of the Company's diluted income per share.
