Vistra Corp. (ISIN US92840M1027) traded at USD 142.03 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, up 1.13 percent from the prior close of USD 140.44. The market reaction followed a new Texas data center power agreement rather than a fresh earnings release.
Texas deal adds long term demand
According to The Energy Mag on September 22, 2026, New Era Energy and Digital signed a 20-year agreement with a Vistra affiliate for up to 207 megawatts of electricity for a planned Texas data center. The contract links Vistra to data center power demand for two decades, although the report does not disclose the agreement's dollar value.
Energy Monitor also reported on September 22, 2026, that the purchaser entered the power purchase agreement through TCDC PowerCo with Luminant ET Services, a Vistra affiliate. The 20-year duration is the key commercial feature: it offers a long contractual period, while the planned data center still depends on future development and tenant demand.
Latest quarter missed estimates
According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, Vistra's latest reported quarter produced revenue of USD 4.02 billion and earnings per share of USD 0.76. Revenue was below the USD 5.46 billion consensus estimate, while EPS missed the USD 1.61 estimate by USD 0.85.
The same reported quarter therefore contained a clear comparison for investors: revenue came in USD 1.44 billion below the cited estimate, and EPS was USD 0.85 below consensus. MarketBeat reported a net margin of 11.55 percent for the period, adding a profitability measure to the revenue and earnings gap.
Stock remains below yearly high
Vistra's market snapshot on September 22, 2026, showed a 52-week range of USD 132.66 to USD 219.82 and a market capitalization of USD 47.22 billion. At USD 142.03, the stock was USD 77.79 below the yearly high and USD 9.37 above the yearly low, placing the quote much closer to the lower boundary of its annual range.
MarketBeat listed a 50-day moving average of USD 146.91 and a 200-day moving average of USD 152.70 on September 22, 2026. The current quote was therefore USD 4.88 below the 50-day average and USD 10.67 below the 200-day average, a technical contrast to the long-term demand potential suggested by the Texas agreement.
Vistra stock closes at USD 142.03
Vistra stock stood at USD 142.03 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, with a daily gain of 1.13 percent from USD 140.44. The combination of a 20-year, 207-megawatt agreement and a latest-quarter revenue miss leaves contract duration and earnings execution as the two measurable reference points.
