Vistra Corp. received a 'Buy' rating following a $4 billion Department of Energy nuclear loan that strengthens its earnings visibility and growth prospects. The company's adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2027 is projected between $8.1 billion and $8.5 billion, supported by power purchase agreements with Cogentrix and Meta. Vistra plans over $3 billion in dividends and about $1 billion in share buybacks during 2026-27, with potential upside from asset expansions and high-margin contracted revenues. Risks include exposure to electricity price volatility due to hedging strategies and increased leverage from acquisitions, though net leverage remains manageable at 2.4x to 2.6x.
Vistra Corp's stock is trading at USD 141.91 on Pluang as of Oct 05, 2026 20:41 WIB, showing a modest 1.35% gain for the day. Despite this rise, the current price remains well below its 52-week high of USD 210.85, indicating room for potential growth. The stock's dividend yield stands at 0.66%, reflecting a relatively low income return compared to its market cap of $46.91 billion.
