Vistra Corp ( (VST) ) has shared an announcement.
On January 22, 2026, Vistra Operations Company LLC completed a $2.25 billion private offering of senior secured notes, split between $1.0 billion of 4.700% notes due 2031 and $1.25 billion of 5.350% notes due 2036, issued under its existing secured notes indenture and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries with a first-priority security interest over a substantial portion of the group’s assets and equity.

Spark’s Take on VST Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VST is a Neutral.
The score is supported by solid operating profitability and a constructive earnings-call outlook with multi-year guidance, but is held back by heavy leverage and weakening recent revenue/FCF trends, a clearly bearish technical setup, and a rich valuation (high P/E with low yield).
