Vistra posts $3.22B H1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, up 26% YoY, as nuclear PPAs with Meta and AWS anchor contracted revenue growth while Cogentrix acquisition nears close.

Vistra's H1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $3.219 billion outpaced the prior-year period by $671 million, driven by higher realized capacity prices in PJM, Lotus Acquisition volume contributions, and Martin Lake Unit 1 return to service. The company's strategic pivot toward long-term contracted nuclear power — anchored by 20-year PPAs with Meta (2,609 MW from PJM nuclear plants) and AWS (1,200 MW from Comanche Peak) — establishes a durable earnings foundation that reduces reliance on spot market volatility. The $1 billion commitment to KKR's Helix Fund, targeting hyperscale data center and power infrastructure, signals Vistra's intent to participate directly in AI-driven electricity demand growth beyond its generation fleet.
