1. Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST)  

Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls, as he discussed the rising market speculation. Cramer noted the company’s nuclear exposure and said:

I love nuclear power, but even with a more favorable regulatory environment, it’s just not a great business. Building nuclear plants costs too much, and by the way, it takes way too long… Look, I’m not dismissing nuclear power. If you want clean energy, it is your best solution. I’m just saying that because of its complexity, you need to go with bigger companies that aren’t going to go bankrupt during the construction. The other night, the stock screen we ran looking for discounted growth names served us Vistra. That’s a very good independent power producer with plenty of nuclear exposure. I’d buy it.

Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) is an integrated energy provider that produces electricity and sells power and natural gas to millions of homes and businesses. The company manages a portfolio of nuclear, solar, and natural gas facilities and oversees fuel logistics and the decommissioning of old plants.
