Vistra Is Down 30% From Its High. Here's What I'd Do Now.
Vistra's stock has declined nearly 30% from its September 2025 record high of $217.02 to $154, shedding its 'AI premium' due to battery storage facility shutdowns and regulatory challenges from PJM Interconnection. Despite near-term headwinds, analysts expect strong 2026 growth (29% revenue, quadrupling EPS) driven by data center electricity demand. Trading at 15x 2027 earnings with a 0.6% dividend yield, the stock represents a buying opportunity for long-term investors confident in continued AI infrastructure expansion.
