What we can say
We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for Vistra Corp. (VST) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, VST trades at a recent price of $150.56, a market capitalisation of about $50,533,236,736, sitting 25% of the way up its 52-week range ($132.66–$205.50), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing VST's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 25.4× (richer than the peer median of 22.0×); Fwd P/E of 14.5× (cheaper than the peer median of 18.2×); P/B of 16.8× (richer than the peer median of 2.2×); P/S of 2.6× (cheaper than the peer median of 3.1×); EV/EBITDA of 11.1× (cheaper than the peer median of 13.7×); Dividend yield of 0.6% (richer than the peer median of 3.3%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. VST shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 16.83 and book value of $8.95 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. VST is in a mixed trend, trading -26.7% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -21.7%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
