Investing.com - William Blair initiated coverage on Permian Resources Corp (NYSE:PR) with an Outperform rating on Monday. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 8.46 with a robust gross profit margin of 74.06%.
The research firm highlighted Permian Resources as "one of the highest-quality midcap exploration and production companies," citing its attractive assets, efficient operations, and solid balance sheet. This assessment aligns with the company’s "GREAT" Financial Health score from InvestingPro, supported by strong revenue growth of 16.37% over the last twelve months.
William Blair noted the company’s success in strategic growth through both organic development and accretive acquisitions, with Permian Resources completing at least four accretive acquisitions since its merger, replacing more than 100% of drilled inventory over the past two years with high-return assets.
The firm emphasized Permian Resources’ low breakeven point of under $40 per barrel and high free cash flow of $4 million per thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoepd), with drilling and completion costs decreasing by over 20% and controllable cash costs dropping by more than 10%.
According to William Blair, Permian Resources currently holds 450,000 acres with more than 15 years of inventory in the Delaware Basin, and suggested the company "could add a large-scale asset then sell itself."
In other recent news, Permian Resources Corp reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, which slightly missed analyst expectations. The company posted earnings per share of $0.27, falling short of the anticipated $0.29, and revenue reached $1.2 billion, below the expected $1.23 billion. Despite these results, UBS reiterated its Buy rating with a $16.00 price target, highlighting better-than-expected EBITDAX and total production for the quarter. UBS also noted that Permian Resources is experiencing increased near-term free cash flow due to improved capital efficiency and favorable tax conditions. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo raised its price target for Permian Resources to $21.00 from $20.00, maintaining an Overweight rating. This decision followed the company’s second-quarter performance, which met Wells Fargo’s high expectations. However, the updated fiscal year 2025 guidance was in line with expectations and did not provide any upside. These developments reflect the mixed performance and outlook for Permian Resources in recent times.
