On May 7, Reuters reported that Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) swung to a quarterly profit as rising power demand and higher electricity prices lifted results. The company’s shares climbed 4.2% in premarket trading following the report. Power companies across the US have been increasing prices and boosting capital spending as they work to expand infrastructure and keep up with growing demand from technology companies building artificial intelligence data centers.

Reuters further reported that beyond AI, electricity demand in the US is also expected to rise sharply through this year and next, supported by cryptocurrency growth and the transition toward electric heating and transportation. Earlier this year, Vistra agreed to acquire Cogentrix Energy from Quantum Capital Group for about $4.7 billion. The deal followed the company’s 2025 Lotus acquisition as it continued expanding to meet higher power demand. The company expects annual load growth of 5% to 6% in Texas’ ERCOT grid and 2% to 3% in the PJM region.

Interest expenses during the first quarter fell more than 17% to $263 million. Its Texas segment reported adjusted core profit of $586 million, up more than 19% from a year earlier. The East segment, which includes the PJM and New England regions, posted growth of 55.8%. The company reported net income of $980 million for the three months ended March 31. A year earlier, it had posted a loss of $317 million. Vistra also reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted core profit outlook from continuing operations in the range of $6.8 billion to $7.6 billion.

Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) is an integrated retail electricity and power generation company serving customers, businesses, and communities across the U.S., from California to Maine.
