Vistra Energy Corporation (VST) is a large US-based integrated power company that owns and operates a portfolio of electricity generation assets and competitive retail energy businesses. Its revenues come from selling wholesale power, retail electricity contracts and related trading activities, so performance is tied to energy prices, customer demand and market rules.
