Vistra’s Nuclear AI Option, Renewables Draw Inflows

VST is a power generation and distribution company offering electricity, natural gas, nuclear, and other forms of energy to commercial and residential customers. Recent partnerships with hyperscalers Amazon and Microsoft added more than 600 megawatts of renewable capacity to its portfolio.

Financially, VST’s first-quarter fiscal 2025 report showed strong adjusted EBITDA growth of 53% ($1.24 billion) amid the company’s continuing transition to renewable energy projects. VST also increased adjusted EBITDA guidance to a high end of $6.1 billion, continued repurchasing its shares (163 million since November 2021), and has increased its dividend by 49% since 2021.

No wonder VST shares are up 38% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
