VST: Somehow Beating NVDA As The Best-Performing S&P 500 Stock of the Year

Strong ongoing growth in electricity demand from data centers and AI applications encourages a positive outlook for electricity generators. Recent deals with Microsoft and a nuclear power generator imply that the pricing of nuclear-powered energy for data centers has upside potential.

Here's the Best-Performing S&P 500 Stock of 2024 (Hint: It's Not Nvidia)

VST recently benefited from its highly strategic solar agreements with AMZN and MSFT, thanks to the generative AI/ data center boom and the insatiable power demand. This builds upon its well diversified clean energy generation across natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and battery energy storage capabilities, significantly aided by the Energy Harbor acquisition. As a result of VST's raised consensus forward estimates, we believe that it remains extremely cheap with a low PEG non-GAAP ratio of 0.50x.

Vistra Remains Cheap After The Monstrous Rally - Near Term Correction Likely

VST has seen earnings and valuation upgrades post key events such as the PJM capacity auction and data center co-location theme. The Harbor Energy acquisition and recent partner buyout of nuclear assets add considerable cash flow growth. Valuation is not expensive at 11x P/cash earnings or a 0.5x PEG ratio, with room for further multiple expansion.
