In Legacy Ridge Capital Management’s Q4 2024 letter, Vistra (VST, Financial) was highlighted as a significant position that was completely exited after a period of substantial appreciation. The fund capitalized on the stock's rise, driven by increased power demand and excitement around AI, before a sudden market correction.

Kelley, Legacy Ridge Capital Management, Q4 2024 Fund Letter
