Vistra price target raised to $245 from $236 at BMO Capital

BMO Capital analyst James Thalacker raised the firm’s price target on Vistra (VST) to $245 from $236 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company’s update was positive, with slightly better-than-expected Q3 results and encouraging 2026 guidance/2027 midpoint opportunity, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BMO adds however that the strong hedge position was a point of potential concern with investors who felt it could limit Vistra’s upside, especially given the recent rise in forward curves.
