What the Analysts think about Vistra

Analyst projections of the future price of Vistra stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter ongoing-operations adjusted EBITDA rose more than 30% to $1.767 billion, while Vistra reaffirmed 2026 EBITDA guidance of $6.8 billion-$7.6 billion and free cash flow before growth of $3.925 billion-$4.725 billion. Hedging covered roughly 100% of expected 2026 generation and 94% of 2027 generation, giving near-term earnings better visibility. (PR Newswire)
Twenty-year nuclear power agreements with AWS and Meta could shift part of Vistra's earnings from volatile merchant prices to longer-duration contracted revenue. Its Helix partnership with NVIDIA, KKR and the Kuwait Investment Authority also makes Vistra the preferred power provider for a platform targeting data-centre infrastructure growth. (FinanceFeeds, PR Newswire)
The Cogentrix transaction would add about 5.5 GW of gas generation across several high-demand US markets, increasing Vistra's dispatchable capacity. FERC approval has been received, and the acquisition's contribution is excluded from current 2026 guidance, leaving potential upside if the deal closes and integrates smoothly. (PR Newswire, SEC filing)
Vistra said current ERCOT forward curves are meaningfully lower than the levels used to set its 2027 outlook, and that its hedging and nuclear tax-credit protection do not fully offset the headwinds. A prolonged period of weaker Texas prices could push 2027 earnings towards the lower end of management's range. (The Motley Fool)
Vistra is committing substantial capital to growth, including the Cogentrix purchase and up to $1 billion for Helix, while reported long-term debt rose to about $19.6 billion at the end of June. Higher investment and leverage increase the risk that demand, project delivery or acquisition synergies fall short of expectations. (SEC filing, PR Newswire)
Reported second-quarter net income fell by $22 million year on year to $305 million, despite the adjusted EBITDA increase, partly because of a $472 million unrealised loss on hedges. This mark-to-market volatility can obscure underlying performance and make reported earnings harder for investors to forecast and value. (PR Newswire)
