Guggenheim analyst Shahriar Pourreza sets a $300 target for Vistra, implying about 119% upside, citing long-term nuclear and gas PPAs with AWS and Meta, the Cogentrix deal and the Helix JV with NVIDIA and KKR.

Adjusted EBITDA rose and buyback capacity plus excluded deal synergies support the bullish case, while power-price risk, mark-to-market hedge losses and integration costs present clear downside risks. » More on finance.yahoo.com
