Vistra is an integrated retail electricity and power-generation company.

From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • Jim Burke said activity in Vistra’s markets reinforced its view that long-term power-market fundamentals are improving, while the company continued to see demand growth materialize.
  • Chris Moldovan said lower ERCOT forward prices were not fully offset by higher PJM prices, hedging and production-tax-credit protection, pointing 2027 toward the range’s lower end.

Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 18 March 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 15.99m 40.72m 912.44

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
The Vanguard Group, Inc. 12.60%
BlackRock, Inc. 8.40%
Qatar Investment Authority 5.50%
FMR LLC 5.10%
Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
