BURKE JAMES A

Vistra CEO Burke sells 22,251 shares ($3.6M) as VST declines 19.7% in 90 days; 5 consecutive sells in 3 weeks

BURKE JAMES A, President and CEO of Vistra Corp., sold 22,251 shares at $162.05 on 2025-12-11, reducing holdings by 6.9% to 298,002 shares. This sale is the fifth consecutive insider transaction at VST within a 3-week window (October 23 – November 11), with each prior VST sale followed by 30-day declines ranging from -6.4% to -14.2%. The broader stock context shows VST down 19.7% over the past 90 days and -22.8% from its 52-week high of $217.92, despite solid fundamentals (FY revenue growth +16.5%, net income $652,000,000.00, P/E 49.49). The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -12.3%, consistent with the recent VST declines. The rapid succession and scale of these sales—removing roughly 7% of holdings in a compressed timeframe during a declining market—merit scrutiny into whether these dispositions reflect broader management or board-level capital-allocation decisions or signaling about near-term business conditions.

CEO James A Burke sells 21,935 shares of VST at $186.53; stock down -21.3% from 52-week high, 5 prior VST sales in Oct 2025

James A Burke, President and CEO, sold 21,935 shares at $186.53 on 2025-11-11, reducing holdings from 321,074 shares to 299,139 shares. This sale occurred as VST has declined -16.5% over the past 30 days and -21.3% from its 52-week high of $217.92, while the current price sits at $171.56. The timing is noteworthy because Burke executed five separate sales at VST in late October (2025-10-23 through 2025-10-29), establishing a pattern of recent consecutive dispositions that continues into November. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -11.0%, though outcome data for the recent VST sales is not yet measurable. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $5.0B in quarterly revenue and 16.5% annual revenue growth, but the stock trades at a P/E of 50.46, and the CEO's sustained selling activity during a pronounced price decline warrants investor attention.

CEO James Burke sold 9,641 VST shares at $192.30; stock down 13.6% from 52-week high, 5 prior VST sales in recent days

James Burke, President and CEO, sold 9,641 shares at $192.30 on 2025-10-29, reducing holdings from 308,608 to 298,967 shares. The sale occurred as the stock trades at $188.30, down 13.6% from its 52-week high of $217.92 and down 6.6% over the prior 30 days. Burke has executed five separate sales at VST in rapid succession over the past week (2025-10-22 through 2025-10-29), though outcomes of these recent trades remain unmeasurable at this time. The company maintains solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of 16.5% and net income of $327.0M on $4.2B quarterly revenue, though the P/E ratio of 26.71 reflects elevated valuation. The pattern of consecutive sales during a period of price weakness warrants observation of disclosure filings and earnings guidance to assess any connection to company-specific developments.

VST President/CEO Burke sold 20,473 shares at $203.64; now holds 298,967 shares post-sale

On 2025-10-27, James A. Burke (President and CEO of Vistra Corp.) sold 20,473 shares at $203.64, reducing his holdings from 319,440 to 298,967 shares. This sale occurs within a cluster of five sales in the same ticker between 2025-10-22 and 2025-10-29, suggesting accelerated portfolio activity. Burke retains nearly 299,000 shares post-transaction, representing substantial continued exposure to the company. The company's fundamentals remain solid—revenue of $4.2B with 16.5% annual growth and net income of $327.0M—though the stock is currently trading at $199.37, -8.5% from its 52-week high of $217.92. Because outcomes for all five recent same-ticker sales are not yet measurable at the 30- or 90-day horizon, patterns of timing cannot yet be assessed for this cluster.

CEO Burke sells 39,213 shares (11.6% of holdings) for $7.5M across three days at $186–$196.46

James A. Burke, President and CEO of Vistra Corp., filed three separate sales totaling 39,213 shares for $7,520,634.00 between October 23–24, 2025, at prices ranging from $186.00 to $196.46. This reduction represents an 11.6% decrease in his holdings, leaving him with 297,429 shares post-transaction. The current stock price of $199.30 sits 8.5% below the 52-week high of $217.92, while the company reports strong Q3 fundamentals: $4.2B in revenue and $327.0M net income, with annual revenue growth of 16.5% and a P/E of 28.27. Burke's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sales, but his same-ticker history at VST consists of five recent sells (October 17, 20, 21, 22, and 27) with outcomes not yet measurable at the 30- and 90-day horizons. The concentration of sales activity over a narrow timeframe and the lack of measurable track-record outcomes specific to this ticker warrant investor monitoring of subsequent disclosures to clarify whether these represent discretionary portfolio adjustments or part of a broader strategic positioning.

CEO James A Burke sells 21.6K VST shares for $4.1M (blended avg $188.75) over 2 days

James A Burke, President and CEO of Vistra Corp., executed 2 separate sales totaling 21,617 shares for $4,080,205.35 on 2025-10-21 and 2025-10-22, reducing his holdings by 6.9% to 292,642 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred at blended average price of $188.75, which is above the current price of $191.37 but below the 52-week high of $217.92; the stock has declined 6.3% over 30 days and is -12.2% from its 52-week peak. Burke's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells, though measurable outcomes on his 5 prior VST trades remain incomplete. Given the company's strong fundamentals—$4.25B quarterly revenue, $327M net income, and 16.5% annual revenue growth—this sale represents a material reduction in executive stake but warrants observation of whether it signals a shift in Burke's conviction regarding the stock's near-term direction.

Vistra CEO Burke sells 42,738 shares for $8.8M across two days at $206-$207; stock now $186.52, down 14.4% from 52-week high.

President and CEO James A. Burke executed 2 separate sales totaling 42,738 shares for $8,808,936.69 on October 17 and October 20, 2025, at blended average price of $206.11. Burke retains 287,859 shares post-transaction, representing a 12.9% reduction in his VST position. Notably, the sales occurred while VST traded near its 52-week peak ($217.92 range), and the stock has since declined 14.4% to current price of $186.52, with a 30-day decline of 11.7%. The timing of these sales near the peak, combined with the subsequent sharp 30-day decline, forms a pattern worth monitoring, though his same-ticker history at VST shows 5 prior recent trades with outcomes not yet measurable. The company's fundamentals remain solid—$4.2B quarterly revenue, 16.5% annual growth, and 26.46 P/E—and Burke maintains substantial remaining exposure with 287.9K shares.

CEO Burke sells 42,718 shares across 3 trades (Oct 15–16) for $9,068,012.32, reducing holdings 13.1%; stock now $201.35, down 7.6% from 52-week high.

James A. Burke, President and CEO of Vistra Corp., executed three separate sales totaling 42,718 shares (42.7K shares) for $9,068,012.32 ($9.1M) at a blended average price of $212.28 over October 15–16, 2025, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 282,597 shares (282.6K shares), a net reduction of 13.1% versus pre-transaction holdings of 325,315 shares. The sales occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $217.92; the current price of $201.35 sits 7.6% below that peak and 3.3% lower over the preceding 30 days. Vistra's fundamentals show strong recent performance with $4.2B revenue in the latest quarter, net income of $327.0M, annual revenue growth of +16.5%, and a 28.56 P/E ratio in a $68.2B market cap company. Burke's prior open-market activity shows 20 prior sells across all tickers; at Vistra specifically, his 5 recent prior trades (all sells on October 13–17) are too recent to measure 30-day or 90-day outcomes. The concentration of sales activity over a narrow time window during a period of moderate price weakness and proximity to the 52-week high provides the primary signal for investor attention.

CEO James A. Burke sold 84,160 shares of VST for $17,211,819.05 across 6 sales in Oct 2025; blended avg $204.51, current $210.85.

James A. Burke, Vistra Corp.'s President and CEO, executed 6 separate sales totaling 84,160 shares (84.2K shares) for $17,211,819.05 across October 10–14, 2025, at a blended average price of $204.51. His post-transaction holdings of 277,315 shares (277.3K shares) represent a reduction of 23.3% from pre-transaction holdings of 361,475 shares. The current stock price of $210.85 stands 3.2% below the 52-week high of $217.92 and shows strong 90-day momentum at +15.8%, suggesting the stock has been in an uptrend. His same-ticker transaction history shows 5 prior trades at VST in early October 2025, all sells with outcomes not yet measurable. The substantial dollar volume and percentage reduction in his stake, combined with the sustained strength of the underlying stock price and recent buying momentum, warrants investor scrutiny of the CEO's confidence in the company's near-term trajectory.

Vistra CEO Burke sells 40,961 shares for $8.4M across three transactions; holding reduced 13.2% to 269.4K shares.

James A Burke, President and CEO of Vistra Corp., executed three separate sales on 2025-10-08 and 2025-10-09, selling 40,961 shares totaling $8,381,573.23 at prices ranging from $200.13 to $207.55, with a blended average of $204.62. His post-transaction holding of 269,368 shares represents a 13.2% reduction in his pre-transaction stake. The sales occurred near the 52-week high of $217.92, though the current price of $196.86 is 9.7% below that peak and down 5.9% over the past 30 days. No patterns from his prior VST trades at this ticker are yet measurable, given their recent timing. The magnitude of the reduction and multi-transaction structure warrant investor attention to whether this reflects portfolio management or broader executive sentiment about valuation.
