Vistra has a forward PE of ~15 and PEG of 0.5, with Q1 EPS of $2.87 and growing data-center revenue from Amazon/Meta deals. Data centers require massive energy, and Vistra’s aggressive expansion positions it to capture that demand, while the low PEG suggests upside. The stock is undervalued relative to AI tailwinds, and insider buying adds conviction; a long position could benefit from earnings growth and rerating. Regulatory changes in Texas energy markets, slowdown in AI data-center buildout, or failure to integrate Cogentrix acquisition could invalidate the thesis.
