Vistra (VST) Q2 Revenue Rises 10%

Vistra (NYSE:VST), a major integrated power producer and electricity retailer, reported financial results for Q2 2025 on August 7, 2025. The company’s results showed both Non-GAAP earnings per share and GAAP revenue coming in below consensus estimates. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.37, below the $0.88 analyst estimate, while GAAP revenue reached $4.25 billion, compared to a $4.74 billion forecast. Net income (GAAP), ongoing operations Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), and segment Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were all down year-over-year, with notable negative impact from higher plant outage expenses and increased depreciation. Despite these headwinds, Vistra reaffirmed its 2025 guidance for both Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA and Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth (non-GAAP), pointing to a quarter that, while operationally challenged, maintains a clear path forward on strategy and investment priorities.
