Vistra reports Q1 revenue $5.64B, consensus $5.24B

Reports Q1 ongoing operations adjusted EBITDA $1.49B. “Vistra (VST) had an exciting start to 2026, powered by the talent of our people, the capabilities of our generation portfolio, our commitment to our customers, and our ability to grow strategically,” said Jim Burke, president and CEO of Vistra. “The first week of the year brought announcements of our plans to acquire the 5,500-MW Cogentrix natural gas generation portfolio, which we continue to target closing in the second half of the year, followed by our signing of long-term power purchase agreements with Meta at our PJM nuclear sites. Vistra performed well, with the fleet delivering strong performance during an extended period of volatile weather including Winter Storm Fern, while the retail business experienced one of the mildest first quarters in Texas history. Finally, Fitch’s recent upgrade of our corporate credit rating to Investment Grade, following S&P’s action last year, reflects the progress we’ve made in strengthening our balance sheet and providing visibility into the longer-term earnings power of the company. Looking ahead, we remain focused on operational execution and preparing our fleet for the upcoming summer months. Our integrated model and focus on disciplined execution position us well to deliver reliable power to our customers and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”
