Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Vistra Corp has an operating margin of 10.8%, meaning the company retains $11 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 46/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 23.7% the prior year.
Vistra Corp's revenue grew a modest 3.0% year-over-year to $17.7B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 38/100.
Vistra Corp has a moderate D/E ratio of 3.34. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 34/100.
Vistra Corp's current ratio of 0.78 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 10/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
Vistra Corp has a free cash flow margin of 7.4%, earning a moderate score of 44/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.
Vistra Corp's ROE of 18.5% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 52/100. This is down from 47.7% the prior year.
Vistra Corp scores 1.34, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($51.2B) relative to total liabilities ($36.4B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Vistra Corp passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Vistra Corp generates $4.31 in operating cash flow ($4.1B OCF vs $944.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Vistra Corp earns $1.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.9B vs $1.2B). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
