Vistra: Locked Into A Virtuous Cycle

Vistra remains a BUY, positioned as a long-term compounder with over 30% EPS growth projected through 2028. VST's growth is driven by rising AI/data center power demand, disciplined asset acquisitions, and a commercial strategy focused on margin visibility via hedging. Recent acquisitions, including Cogentrix, will expand capacity by 20% through 2027 and boost dispatch rates and GWh sold by 24%.

Vistra: Don't Underestimate The Nuclear Energy Potential

Since I last checked on power producer Vistra in December 2025, its price has expectedly underwhelmed. But given the developments since, I believe the markets are underpricing the promising stock. Its power purchase agreements with Amazon and Meta for the provision of nuclear energy alone imply the possible growth potential, not to mention the possibility of a premium on market valuations. The company's expansion of gas assets with the purchase of Cogentrix Energy, after it bought Lotus Infrastructure Partners' gas assets last year, also works in its favor.

AI Has A Power Problem, And Vistra Owns The Answer

I am rating Vistra a Strong Buy because AI is turning electricity into a scarce asset and Vistra owns the kind of dispatchable power portfolio that data centers need. The key growth drivers are AI-driven data center demand, PJM nuclear scarcity, ERCOT load growth and Cogentrix gas acquisition. These drivers should lift EBITDA by $500Mn. My Price Target is $220 and is based on using a 12x EV/EBITDA multiple and $8.1Bn of 2027 EBITDA. This represents a 48% potential upside.
