Vital Energy: The Most Hedged Upstream Company
Vital Energy trades at just 2.7x 2025 free cash flow and a 73% discount to book, offering deep value. The company boasts low breakevens, strong production in the Permian, and a robust hedge book for downside protection. Debt reduction is on track, with no near-term maturities and ample liquidity, supporting operational stability.
Vital Energy: A Look At Q2 As Costs Come Down
Vital Energy is executing a cost-reduction strategy. Management is consolidating operations and trying new technology to lower costs. Recent guidance and operational improvements position Vital Energy to profitably drill new wells under weaker commodity price scenarios.
Vital Energy: Hedges Protect Its 2025 Free Cash Flow
Vital Energy, Inc. is now projected to generate $267 million in 2025 free cash flow. This is helped by its hedges, with around 94% of its 2H 2025 oil production hedged. Vital has significantly fewer 2026 hedges, so it is relying on service cost decreases to lower its corporate breakeven point.
Vital Energy: About Those Acquisition Benefits
Recent acquisitions are delivering visible benefits. Vital Energy's corporate breakeven is already below industry averages, with management possibly targeting $50 per barrel or less by next year. The company's strategy of acquiring high-cost acreage and operating it more efficiently is proving effective.
Vista Energy: Growth, EBITDA, And Proven Reserves Will Pave The Way
The company has invested significant resources in expanding its operations. In the first four months of 2025, its production increased by 73.13% compared to 2024. My estimation suggests that Vista Energy's EV/EBITDA will decline by 10.62% in 2027 compared to 2024, which is positive. I assume negative scenarios for this forecast. With the acquisition of PEPASA, Vista Energy's proven reserves of oil and gas will increase by approximately 37.31%.
