Vistra Corp is a good buy right now due to its current price of $161.48, which is significantly below the analyst price target of $210 from BMO Capital and $202 from Siebert Williams. The recent surge in stock price by 15.33% over the past 5 days, alongside a strong RSI of 68.40, indicates positive momentum. However, the main risk is the forward P/E ratio of 13.33, which suggests that the stock may be overvalued if earnings do not meet expectations.
