VST
VST shed 6.5 percent today, and the move is a clean read on how the AI-power trade is starting to split into haves and have-nots. Vistra had become one of the unlikely darlings of the AI buildout — the thesis being simple: data centers chew through electricity, power companies win. But Constellation Energy is pulling ahead on the nuclear contract story, signing long-term deals directly with data centers that give it a much clearer earnings path. That specificity matters. When analysts compare VST against CEG, the question becomes: who has signed contracts versus who's riding the wave? Today, the answer moved toward CEG. Power stocks that trade on AI adjacency — meaning they benefit indirectly from AI demand rather than through direct offtake agreements — are exposed when the market starts asking for receipts. Watch CEG's next earnings print.
