Vistra has positioned itself well to capitalize on the growing energy needs of AI data centers. Several analysts have been bullish on the stock. Morgan Stanley has listed the stock as one of its “high conviction” picks for 2025. The firm raised its price target from $135 to $169 in November 2024 largely due to its growth opportunities driven by AI-powered energy demand and data center expansion. The stock plunged after the emergence of DeepSeek stemming from concerns that more efficient AI models meant reduced electricity usage, partially recovering since.
