Vistra reports Q3 2026 net income of $1.14B, raises 2026 EBITDA guidance, and closes Cogentrix acquisition.

Vistra Corp. reported a strong Q3 2026 with net income of $1.14 billion and over 50% growth in ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA to $2.38 billion, driven by higher energy prices and new assets. The company raised its 2026 EBITDA guidance midpoint to $7.3 billion and initiated 2027 guidance with EBITDA between $7.7 billion and $8.5 billion. Vistra also completed the acquisition of Cogentrix Energy, adding 5,500 MW of natural gas capacity, and started operations at new solar facilities, positioning itself for future growth in a changing energy market.

Vistra Corp's stock price at USD 118.30 as of Nov 06, 2026, 19:12 WIB remains closer to its 52-week low of USD 112.89 than the high of USD 191.00, despite the company's strong Q3 results and raised EBITDA guidance. The stock gained 4.79% in one day, yet Pluang investors show a predominantly selling interest with 80% of orders to sell. This contrast highlights cautious sentiment around Vistra even as it expands its energy capacity and operations.
