- AWS and Meta committed for 20 years. | Nuclear agreements cover ~3.8 GW, including planned uprates—giving the AI power thesis actual contracted demand.

- Substantial cash generation already exists. | Vistra generated $3.59B in adjusted free cash flow before growth in 2025.
- Expansion from existing reactors. | The Meta agreements include 433 MW of planned capacity upgrades, without requiring entirely new nuclear plants.
