Magnolia has minimal net debt, and its notes don't mature until 2032. It is unhedged but still appears capable of generating close to $400 million in 2026 free cash flow at high-$50s oil. Magnolia appears to be able to cover its dividend as long as oil prices are at $45+.

Expand Energy: Solid Haynesville Results And Potentially $3+ Billion In 2026 FCF
Expand has a strong position in the Haynesville, which accounts for around 41% of its 2025 production and 54% of its 2025 D&C capex. Expand may be able to generate $3+ billion per year in free cash flow in 2026 and 2027 at current strip (of around $4 NYMEX natural gas). Although oil prices are relatively weak, most of Expand's revenue comes from natural gas and weak oil prices also can have a slight positive effect on natural gas.
GFLW: Competitive Returns, AUM Growth Continues, Buy Rating Maintained
The VictoryShares Free Cash Flow Growth ETF is a passively managed ETF focused on FCF-rich companies with convincing FCF growth prospects. I upgraded it to a Buy in June, and I maintain this rating today. GFLW has outperformed the market since December 2024. Since the beginning of the year, it has beaten most of its peers in the Large Growth subclass.
Chord Energy: A Large FCF Generator In The Permian Basin
Chord's 2Q2025 revenues declined due to lower fossil fuel prices, but production volumes remained stable and cost controls were effective. Despite a drop in FCF margin to 14.83%, cash from operations increased, resulting in an attractive P/CF ratio of 3.55x. My conservative DCF valuation uses a high 10% WACC and modest growth assumptions, providing a strong margin of safety.

Antero is dealing with weaker near-term natural gas prices and is projected to end 2025 with a bit over $800 million in free cash flow. This is down $350 million since I looked at it in early June. However, Antero has made some incremental gains in terms of capital efficiency and is also now not expected to pay material cash income taxes until 2028.
