Why Did Vistra Stock Drop Today?
Shares of electric utility and nuclear power plant operator Vistra (NYSE: VST) stock tumbled 4.1% through 12:55 p.m. ET Tuesday after The Wall Street Journal warned investors that President Trump's plan to kick-start a nuclear power renaissance in America "won't be easy."

Shares of Vistra have rocketed this past year, up more than 120%, on hopes that artificial intelligence's (AI) insatiable demand for electric power will spur demand for more nuclear power plants to supply that demand -- and on President Trump's promises to support the nuclear sector, including by instructing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to decide on reactor design applications within 18 months of filing.
