Vistra Corp Stock news
On June 5, 2026, Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) confirmed the successful closure of its acquisition of Cogentrix’s 5,500--MW natural gas generation portfolio, significantly expanding its dispatchable capacity across the PJM and ERCOT markets. This operational milestone follows the company's recent expansion of long--term power purchase agreements with Meta to supply carbon--free nuclear energy for AI--driven data centers. Despite these growth catalysts, the stock has faced near--term pressure from rising Treasury yields and recent regulatory filings disclosing $2.4 million in insider share sales, leading to a market reassessment of the company's valuation relative to its AI--linked growth narrative.
