Vistra stock price drops today as tariff threats shake markets — what to know about VST
NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2026, 12:29 EST — Regular session.
- Vistra shares fell about 3.9% to $160.12 in midday trade.
- Power names slid broadly as Wall Street sold off and volatility picked up.
- Traders are watching Vistra’s Jan. 22 debt deal closing and the next policy headlines tied to power prices and data-center demand.
Shares of Vistra Corp fell 3.9% to $160.12 in midday trading on Tuesday, extending a choppy stretch for a stock that has become a proxy for the U.S. power-demand trade.
The slide matters because investors have been leaning into generators tied to the data-center buildout, and Vistra sits near the center of that story. When risk appetite fades, the group can move fast.
That backdrop got uglier…
