At its April 29, 2026 annual meeting, Vistra Corp. shareholders elected 11 directors to the board, including Scott B. Helm, Hilary E. Ackermann, Arcilia C. Acosta, Gavin R. Baiera, Paul M. Barbas, James A. Burke, Lisa Crutchfield, Julie A. Lagacy, John W. (Bill) Pitesa, John R. (J. R.) Sult, and Robert C. Walters, each receiving strong majority support.

Spark’s Take on VST Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VST is a Neutral.

The score is supported most by a very strong earnings-call outlook (multi-year free-cash-flow targets, contracted nuclear PPAs, and a plan to reduce leverage) and moderately positive technical momentum. This is tempered by only mid-tier underlying financial-statement strength due to high leverage and reduced clarity/weakness in 2025 statement fields, plus a stretched valuation (high P/E and low yield).
