From the latest earnings call
- 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.

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.

Vistra is an integrated retail electricity and power-generation company. It sells electricity, natural gas and related services to residential, commercial and industrial customers, while owning plants that generate electricity for its retail customers and for wholesale markets. Its retail brands include TXU Energy, Ambit Energy, Dynegy Energy Services, Homefield Energy, Energy Harbor and U.S. Gas & Electric. [item1]
The generation fleet uses natural gas, nuclear fuel, coal, solar and battery energy storage. Natural-gas plants include combined-cycle, peaking and steam-turbine units; nuclear units generally run at full capacity except during planned refuelling outages. The company also operates wholesale commodity-risk-management activities that link plant output, retail demand and wholesale sales. [item1]
