Save your seatVST faded from roughly $170 after the January 9, 2026 Cogentrix and Meta news burst to $159.84 now as traders digest strong Q1 results and a still-bullish power demand story.
The stock has the potential to go down if it loses $156, with a retrace toward the $150 to $145 zone in play. Any delay on the Cogentrix close, weaker summer power pricing, or another analyst target cut could speed up that flush.
If VST holds the $156 to $160 area, a push back toward $170 and then $185 is on the table. First resistance sits near $167 to $170, and it likely needs volume plus more follow-through on the Cogentrix close or data-center power demand theme.
