Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) operates as an integrated retail electricity and power generation company. The stock is driven by the huge power demand from AI data centers.

Donald Trump’s focus on fossil fuels and less attention on renewables has the potential to disrupt the energy space. On November 7, CNBC posted post-election notes from firms such as Jefferies and JPMorgan to discuss the stocks that are most likely to emerge as winners or losers. As per JP Morgan and Jefferies, gas stocks exposed to natural gas are likely to emerge as the biggest winners.

“Under a more carbon-agnostic agenda, we would […] expect the Trump administration to be more supportive of gas generation,” JPMorgan analyst Kevin Kwan told clients in a Wednesday note.

In particular, Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) has been soaring to the top of S&P, driven by hopes of securing a deal to power data centers using one of its nuclear plants. According to JP Morgan, the company has “significant assets”, and is likely to benefit from the fossil-fuel-friendly Trump administration.
