Vistra reported third quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $652 million, down $1.185 billion from a year earlier, mainly due to lower unrealized mark-to-market gains, while Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA rose 10% to $1.581 billion. The company narrowed its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $5.7 billion to $5.9 billion and initiated 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $6.8 billion to $7.6 billion, and its board added $1.0 billion to its share repurchase authorization.

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on November 06, 2025.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text (each brief's own page names the model) and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the model's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
