Vistra Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.231 Per Share
Vistra Corp (VST) has announced a slight increase in its quarterly dividend, raising the payout by 0.4% from $0.230 to $0.231 per share. The dividend carries a forward yield of approximately 0.66%. Shareholders of record as of December 22 will be eligible for the payment, which is scheduled to be paid on December 31. The dividend hike comes amid significant tailwinds for Vistra's nuclear operations. The company was recently confirmed to receive up to $4.2 billion in loans from the Department of Energy (DOE) to bolster nuclear power output, a move closely tied to the growing electricity demand driven by AI and data center expansion.
