Vistra Corp. (VST)
Utilities · Independent Power Producers · Data as of 2026-10-22
Bottom line
VST is trading at a premium to its history, in the middle of its recent price range, and recent volume suggests money flowing in. The picture is mixed, so it may be worth watching rather than acting on. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading at a premium (Red)
VST trades at 26× earnings, above its own 5-year average of 17× and above similar utilities companies we track (21×, 31 peers). Investors are currently paying more per dollar of earnings than usual. Its free-cash-flow yield is about 2.6%. Growth is slower than its 3-year pace, which deserves some caution. Its current multiple sits around the 48th percentile of its own last five years — around the middle of its own range. About 68% of its reported earnings arrived as free cash over the last year.
Price zones — In the middle of its recent range (Yellow)
At $140.83, the stock sits between its recent support and resistance levels. Over the past year VST has traded between $132.66 and $203.66; its historical support zone sits near $132.66 and resistance near $145.32. It is below both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled a downtrend.
52-week range $132.66–$203.66 · 50-day average $145.32 · 200-day average $154.27
Money flow — Money is flowing in (Green)
Recent trading in VST shows more volume on rising days than falling days, a pattern often described as accumulation. Volume on up days has been about 1.3× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.

一句话结论
VST 相对自身历史处于溢价水平，处于近期价格区间的中部，近期成交量显示资金正在流入。整体情况好坏参半，也许更适合先观察，而不是急于行动。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 相对自身历史处于溢价水平
VST 目前的市盈率为 26×，高于其自身 5 年平均的 17×，并且高于我们追踪的同类Utilities公司（21×，31 家）。投资者目前为每一美元盈利付出的价格高于以往。其自由现金流收益率约为 2.6%。增速已慢于其 3 年的平均步伐，这一点值得留意。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 48 百分位——处于自身区间的中部。过去一年，其报告利润中约有 68% 转化为自由现金。
价格区间 — 处于近期区间的中部
目前价格为 $140.83，位于其近期的支撑位与阻力位之间。过去一年 VST 的价格在 $132.66 到 $203.66 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $132.66 附近，阻力区在 $145.32 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线下方，这在历史上通常对应下降趋势。
资金流向 — 资金正在流入
VST 近期上涨日的成交量高于下跌日，这种形态常被称为吸筹。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 1.3×。
股息与公司概况
VST 过去一年每股派息 0.91 美元，相当于当前股价的 0.65%，过去五年每年都有上调。它通过回购返还了更多：2025 财年回购 10.3亿美元，约占市值的 2.0%。
