What is the price target of Vistra Corp. (VST)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $234.09, about 64.0% above the current $142.72. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the future stock price of VST by 2030?
Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $1,330.38, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.
What is Vistra Corp.'s revenue?
Vistra Corp.'s trailing twelve-month revenue is $19.21B, and our model projects it reaching about $37.50B by 2030.

Vistra Corp.'s Altman Z-Score is 0.62, which places it in the distress. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
