Vistra (VST-N) has emerged as a prominent player in the energy sector, notably benefiting from the surge in demand for power driven by the AI revolution and the growing presence of data centers in the U.S., particularly Texas. Despite a significant drop of over 28% related to the rise of China's DeepSeek technology, which has introduced competitive concerns, experts highlight Vistra's strong fundamentals, including a diversified energy portfolio with nuclear and renewable investments. Analysts remain optimistic about potential upward revisions in credit ratings, which would lower costs of capital and support growth. While the stock has seen significant gains, raising concerns of overvaluation with a P/E ratio now at 24x, many experts still emphasize the need for caution amid market volatility and recommend buying on dips for long-term growth.

Consensus
Positive
Valuation
Overvalued
TOP PICK

Pullback is excellent entry. Second-derivative trade on AI revolution. Leading independent power producer in US, ~5M customers across 20 states. Half its business is in Texas, which is ground zero for power-hungry data centres. Yield is 0.7%.

Likely to sign an agreement with a hyperscaler. Power prices increasing. Can foresee upgrade to credit rating, which lowers cost of capital. Trades at a fairly undemanding 10-10.5x enterprise value to EBITDA.

(Analysts’ price target is $174.73)
HOLD
A top performer on the S&P in January

Is awaiting clarity about DeepSeek's actual costs and the entire AI complex. Rallied on the data centre trade, until DeepSeek hit.

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.

BUY

His biggest winner of the year, up 264%. He has not trimmed his holding. It still isn't expensive at 20x forward PE. Demand for energy to fuel AI will endure.

RISKY

Of its energy sources, 60% is natural gas and 20% coal, but they have nuclear exposure and are making investments in renewables.

PARTIAL SELL

Shares have rallied 200%. Take some profits.

BUY

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.

BUY

Is up 28% in May and his own only utility. It's the second-biggest nuclear producer in the U.S.
