Spark’s Take on VST Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VST is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by reasonably strong underlying financial performance (good margins and cash conversion) and constructive forward commentary/guidance, but is held back by high leverage and weak technical trend (price below major moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation also detracts due to a high P/E and low dividend yield, while corporate events are a modest positive given capacity wins and growth-oriented acquisitions.
