Vistra Corp.: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Vistra Corp. as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Energy sector based in Irving, United States. The group dates from 2016. The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 53 filings signed by 18 insiders.
On the market, 1 insider bought (1 purchase totalling €231k) while 6 insiders sold (13 sales totalling €22.1M). The totals exclude 4 filings filed without an amount. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. At €3.8M, the sale published on 21 October 2025 by Burke James A is the largest of the period. Those buying include 1 chief executive.
The clock since the last published purchase (24 August 2026) now reads 55 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,812 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 53 filings here. Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 29 purchases and 33 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 17.74 bn USD and net income at 944.0 m USD; the dividend was 0.90 USD per share.

About Vistra Corp.
Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) is a U.S.-based integrated energy company headquartered in Irving, Texas, United States. For investors in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, it can be viewed as a large-scale power and retail electricity platform that combines customer-facing energy supply with a diversified generation fleet. Vistra describes itself as a leading Fortune 500 integrated retail electricity and power generation company, serving customers, businesses, and communities from California to Maine. Its generation portfolio includes natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and battery energy storage assets, giving the company exposure to both baseload and dispatchable power economics. ([investor.vistracorp.com](https://investor.vistracorp.com/overview?utm_source=openai))
From a business-model perspective, Vistra’s strength lies in its integrated structure. The company sells electricity through well-known retail brands such as TXU Energy, Homefield Energy, Dynegy, Ambit Energy, and Luminant, while also operating a substantial power generation fleet. This combination supports a broader commercial footprint across 20 states and six of the seven competitive power markets in the United States. The company’s headquarters is in Irving, Texas, and that Texas base remains strategically important given the scale of its generation and retail exposure in the ERCOT market and other competitive regions.

Vistra’s competitive position is shaped by its ability to balance supply, pricing, and hedging across an integrated portfolio. In a fragmented U.S. power market, the company’s combination of retail demand, flexible generation, and large-scale hedging can help support earnings visibility and capital allocation flexibility. Management emphasizes reliability, affordability, and sustainability, which is consistent with a utility-like value proposition but with more merchant exposure than a regulated utility. That profile can be attractive in periods of tighter power markets or rising electricity demand, while also requiring disciplined risk management. ([investor.vistracorp.com](https://investor.vistracorp.com/overview?utm_source=openai))
Recent developments have been material. Vistra reported first-quarter 2026 results on May 7, 2026, signaling continued operational momentum. In February 2026, the company announced plans to acquire Cogentrix Energy, adding roughly 5,500 MW of gas-fired generation capacity, with closing expected in mid-to-late 2026; this followed the November 2025 closing of a 2,600 MW acquisition from Lotus Infrastructure Partners. Vistra also received approval in 2025 to extend operation of its Perry Nuclear Power Plant through 2046, and its credit profile improved meaningfully as investment-grade ratings were achieved from major agencies in late 2025 and March 2026. These actions suggest a company focused on portfolio expansion, longer-duration asset value, and balance-sheet strengthening.
