On June 1, Vistra Energy fell 3.48% in regular trading, trading at $153.262/share, with trading volume of $160 million.
The stock extended its recent pullback after surging over 5% on May 26, driven by AI power demand narratives and a broad rally in the nuclear power sector. The independent power producer sector came under broad selling pressure, with peer Talen Energy down 4.29% and Hallador Energy down 2.28%. The sector had previously accumulated significant gains fueled by AI data center electricity demand expectations, and profit-taking pressure has intensified.
Notably, trading volume declined markedly compared to the prior session, signaling cooling short-term bullish momentum. Previously, Jefferies had raised its target price on Vistra to $190 maintaining a buy rating, while hedge fund Appaloosa increased its position by approximately 114% in Q1 to 2.022 million shares, underscoring institutional conviction in the AI power chain thesis despite near-term consolidation.
