Vistra Corp reports a 20% year-over-year increase in core profitability for Q1, driven by AI data center electricity demand. The company retains its full-year outlook, excluding impacts from pending acquisitions and new agreements.
Vistra Corp (NYSE: VST) reported a 20% increase in core profitability year over year for the first quarter, primarily fueled by rising electricity demand linked to the AI data center sector. The company has about 5 million retail customers and secures significant power purchase agreements with major clients like Meta and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
