Mizuho Starts Coverage of Vistra With Outperform Rating. Mizuho initiated coverage of Vistra with an Outperform rating and a $169 price target, becoming the latest Wall Street firm to weigh in on the stock. The coverage start comes amid broader attention on power demand tied to data centers and artificial intelligence, with one report highlighting Vistra alongside peers expected to benefit from rising electricity needs. Separately, an insider purchase of about $270,000 was reported, and commentary elsewhere focused on how the market may be undervaluing Vistra's contracted earnings. Together, the coverage launch, the insider buying, and the AI-power demand narrative have kept the stock in focus this week.
