Vistra Q2 2026: adjusted EBITDA up 31.0%, GAAP EPS misses
Vistra's second quarter of 2026 looks weak on the GAAP line and solid underneath. Net income of $305 million fell $22 million year over year as a $472 million unrealized hedge loss landed in the quarter, while Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA rose 31.0% to $1.767 billion. Those hedge marks are paper losses that settle later, so the adjusted number is the better read on the business — yet GAAP EPS of $0.76 badly missed the $1.6938 consensus. View: Neutral.
