Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/41072065/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">rejoins the Stock Whisper Index</a> with strong interest from Benzinga readers due to the energy sector and particularly companies exposed to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41176088/what-happened-with-vistra-constellation-energy-stocks-today"> nuclear energy sector </a>seeing rising interest thanks to growing demand for data centers and AI infrastructure. The energy company will report third-quarter financial results on Oct. 7 with earnings per share of $1.09 and revenue of $5.01 billion expected by analysts.
Vistra has missed earnings per share estimates in three of the last four quarters and revenue estimates in four of the last five quarters. The third quarter results could show if the company can beat estimates and show its strength in the sector. Analysts have been increasing their price targets on Vistra ahead of the earnings report and JPMorgan recently initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and $178 price target. The stock was up over 8% during the last five trading days as nuclear energy remains a hot investor topic. With a gain of over 230% year-to-date, Vistra stock is one of the best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks.

Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) saw increased interest from readers as the ride-share company considers a bid for Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41383838/expedia-shares-rises-by-around-6-whats-going-on"> according to reports</a>. Uber&#8217;s current CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, previously led Expedia as CEO for 12 years. The report comes as Uber has considered acquisitions for growth and to diversify its business into a travel superapp. Khosrowshahi also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41328039/as-elon-musk-unveils-cybercab-uber-ceo-weighs-in-on-robotaxi-competiton-from-waymo-tesla-dont-think">showed minimal concern</a> over competition from Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41259841/uber-vs-tesla-maybe-not-analysts-say-autonomous-vehicles-will-be-market-expanding">robotaxi</a>.

MGE (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mgee#NASDAQ">MGEE</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.66 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.95 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.79 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -30.53%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this public utility holding company would post earnings of $0.94 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.93, delivering a surprise of -1.06%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
MGE, which belongs to the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry, posted revenues of $145.71 million for the quarter ended June 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.69%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $148 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
MGE shares have added about 18% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 9.9%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for MGE?</h2>
While MGE has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for MGE: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.17 on $163.82 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.69 on $674.38 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Utility - Electric Power is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Vistra Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vst#NYSE">VST</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024. The results are expected to be released on August 8.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.59 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +54.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Vistra Corp.&#39;s revenues are expected to be $4.04 billion, up 26.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from MGE Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGEE#NASDAQ">MGEE</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 42.75 cents per share. On Thursday, MGE Energy will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 42.75 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own MGEE as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 42.75 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 15, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
