8. Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST)

Market Capitalization: $48.84

Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) is a retail electricity and power generation company. This AI play is riding on its nuclear capacity to power energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) processes.

On November 15, JP Morgan revealed that Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) is one of its top picks for 2025. Analyst Jeremy Tonet put an “Overweight” (i.e. Buy) rating on the stock with a $178 price target, citing abundant potential for growth in the company on the back of its huge production capacity.

“Top pick VST offers the optimal mix of all angles, in our view. We see very attractive upside from current levels, with a healthy step up in a blue sky scenario. In addition to nuclear upside, we see meaningful gas power leverage for VST, particularly as islanded gas in West TX (with the gas bottleneck wall moving east across TX) and Appalachia should support spark spreads, particularly given Permian electrification demand growth and a great call on gas due to PJM tightening.”
