Vistra (VST-N) has recently faced significant volatility, with a notable drop of over 28% amid concerns regarding competition from China's DeepSeek, which has outpaced AI technologies like ChatGPT. Despite this setback, the company has shown remarkable growth, being recognized as a top performer on the S&P earlier this year with shares rallying 200%. The consensus reflects that Vistra is a strong player in the energy sector, primarily due to its substantial investments in nuclear power and the increasing demand for energy driven by AI advancements. However, some analysts suggest it may be time to take profits with a forward PE ratio that has reached 24x, indicating it may no longer be considered cheap. Overall, while Vistra has demonstrated impressive performance in the energy market, there are mixed sentiments about its future valuation given the recent disruptive developments.

WAIT

VST tanked over 28% today on news of China's DeepSeek stealing the AI crown from ChatGPT--DeepSeek is faster and cheaper. All AI-related stocks, including energy plummeted as the Nasdaq slid over 3%. It's a confusing situation that happened so suddenly that you have to sit on your hands and wait.

Profitable and never expensive. A top pick in nuclear power. Also likes Constellation Energy.

WEAK BUY

Is up 80% in the past month, the best S&P performer and hitting a new high today. Healthy profits and unique assets with secular growth from nuclear energy demand, which needs to fuel AI production. But Vistra is no longer cheap at 24x forward PE, so he expects it to consolidate.

DON'T BUY

A momentum stock can't withstand the kind of recent drop it's had. He prefers Constellation Energy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Vistra was up 31% in May. It's one of the unregulated power producers in a country hungry for power, thanks to all the data centres being built for AI. Buy on weakness.

Utilities
BUY
