New York, Jan 15, 2026, 20:50 EST — Market closed Shares of Vistra Corp climbed roughly 6.6%, finishing Thursday at $180.18, outperforming gains across the utility sector. Vistra remains at the center of a trade drawing attention to power producers as Big Tech seeks long-term electricity deals for AI-driven data centers.

Oklo stock slides after insider sales disclosures as traders reassess Meta nuclear deal

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 15:40 (ET) — Regular session Oklo Inc. shares dropped 3.8%, slipping $3.69 to $92.28 on Thursday afternoon. The stock swung between $99.14 and $92.25, with roughly 8.7 million shares changing hands, as investors reacted to insider-sale disclosures and trimmed gains from the recent nuclear power rally. Timing is crucial. Oklo, a high-volatility stock linked to the hunt for “firm” power solutions for data centers, has attracted momentum investors. In such a volatile setup, insider selling—even when expected—can unsettle shareholders. Big Tech is making moves into nuclear power. Last week, Meta Platforms announced deals with Vistra
