What's driving VST's price

The story driving VST right now: Vistra is a better buy than Constellation Energy due to its lower forward one-year earnings multiple and substantial contracted opportunities for nuclear power supply to technology companies like Meta Platforms and Amazon's AWS, contributing to its projected 2027 adjusted EBITDA. High volatility-momentum readings (79) indicate significant narrative-driven price displacement.
