Vistra Corp (US92840M1027) reported fresh insider activity this week. Director Paul M. Barbas disclosed modest open-market sales of company shares in a Form 4 filing, with at least one transaction executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan according to the SEC-related report.

What the Form 4 shows

According to a Form 4-based report, director Paul M. Barbas sold a total of 488 Vistra shares in two small open-market transactions, at prices of $147.93 and $153.00 per share on 06/12/2026 and 06/15/2026 respectively. The StockTitan summary of the Form 4 filing reports that these trades were classified as ordinary open-market sales.

The filing notes that at least one of the sales was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 03/13/2026, signaling that the disposal was pre-planned rather than opportunistic, and Barbas still directly holds 53,006 Vistra shares after the transactions.
