1
The Basics
U.S. utilities company · large-cap · listed on the NYSE · headquartered in Texas.

AI Insight: VST Financial Trends

Q1 2026 revenue surged to $5,640M with net income of $1,029M — strongest Q1 profit in the visible data — but total debt climbed to a new high of $21,062M.

• Revenue grew from $3,933M in Q1 2025 to $5,640M in Q1 2026, a 43% year-over-year improvement for the same quarter.

• Operating income rebounded sharply from -$120M in Q1 2025 to $1,499M in Q1 2026, reversing the prior-year seasonal loss.

• Total debt rose from $18,542M in Q1 2025 to $21,062M in Q1 2026, the highest level across all eight quarters shown.

• Operating cash flow in Q2 and Q3 2025 fell to $572M and $599M respectively, well below $1,196M–$1,702M levels seen in 2024.

⚠ Total debt jumped $1,018M sequentially to $21,062M in Q1 2026 — sustainability of leverage at this level warrants close monitoring.

⚠ Equity recovered to $5,597M in Q1 2026 after dipping to $4,823M; continued rebuilding would signal balance-sheet stabilization.

⚠ Q4 seasonality consistently compresses margins; Q4 2025 net income of $233M vs. Q3 2025's $652M confirms the recurring pattern.

AI Insight: VST Ratio Trends

Q1 2026 marks Vistra's strongest single-quarter profitability in six quarters, though elevated leverage near 3.76x D/E remains a structural concern.

• Operating margin rebounded sharply to 26.6% in Q1 2026 from -3.0% in Q1 2025, reversing a year-ago loss quarter.

• ROIC surged to 22.5% in Q1 2026 versus -2.1% in Q1 2025 and 7.5% in Q4 2025, signaling strong capital efficiency recovery.

• Net profit margin expanded to 18.2% in Q1 2026, the highest reading outside the anomalous Q3 2024 spike of 30.0%.

• Results are highly seasonal: Q3 peaks (41.2% OpMargin in Q3 2024, 20.9% in Q3 2025) contrast with weak Q4 and Q1 quarters historically.

⚠ D/E ratio climbed to 3.93x in Q4 2025 — the highest in the dataset — before easing to 3.76x; leverage trajectory warrants close monitoring.

⚠ TTM ROIC of 13.2% lags Q1 2026's 22.5% annualized read, suggesting one strong quarter may flatter the underlying full-year return profile.

⚠ Q3 2024's 49.4% ROIC spike has not been replicated; whether Q3 2025's 19.4% or Q1 2026's 22.5% represents the new normal is unresolved.
