Stock

Vistra Corp.

One email when a drop — in price or in valuation — is historically rare for VST. Otherwise we stay quiet.

Worth a look

Bigger than its usual dip. Not yet rare.

Vistra Corp. is 27.3% off its high — deeper than its 6.4% average pullback, but it has been through 77 drawdowns before. Not historically significant yet — we'll say so if that changes.

But down is not the same as cheap: Vistra Corp.'s P/S Severity Score is 0.0 — its valuation sits in or above its typical range.
