Vistra Reports Substantial Q2 Growth Amid Stock Decline

Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) announced a 31% year-over-year increase in its second-quarter adjusted EBITDA, rising to $1.77 billion from $1.35 billion. The company’s strong performance is attributed to higher realized power and capacity prices, alongside contributions from recently acquired power plants.

Despite this growth, Vistra’s stock has fallen approximately 37% from a 52-week high of $219.82 to around $139. The company currently holds long-term power agreements with Amazon Web Services and Meta Platforms, covering over 3,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity, with deliveries starting as early as late 2027.

Vistra’s operational strategy includes a reaffirmation of its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $6.8 billion to $7.6 billion, anticipating a midpoint target of approximately $7.4 billion for 2027. The firm has also committed to a $1 billion data center infrastructure venture that further secures its revenue streams.
