TPL Stock Recent News

Last week, I experienced my worst portfolio performance yet, dropping from a +7% return to -7%. Despite this, I'm still outperforming the market by 700 basis points. Though macroeconomic risks have increased, I believe the current volatility is temporary. I remain confident, with a sizable cash position, and continue to look for buying opportunities. In volatile markets, I avoid panic-selling and instead focus on acquiring quality stocks at discounted prices. This strategy aligns with my long-term dividend growth goals.

My portfolio took a major hit on April 3 and 4, with losses surpassing previous records. Yet, despite the pain, I remain optimistic. Market corrections are essential for long-term wealth building. Though short-term declines are difficult, I view them as opportunities to improve my risk/reward and income potential. I'm eyeing undervalued opportunities, especially cyclical stocks. The current market weakness, amplified by tariffs, offers great buying potential for stocks like Union Pacific and Prologis, and many others.

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (TPL 2.77%) is up a staggering 142.8% over the past year, compared to a less than 10% return in the S&P 500 and a less than 2% gain in the energy sector.

Texas Pacific Land Corporation has surged over 125% in the past year, yet the recent share price lag could present an attractive entry point. TPL's water business, critical for fracking in the Permian Basin, has become a major growth driver, with water sales revenue surging. TPL's free cash flow has skyrocketed, and hitting the $1 billion annual threshold within a few years doesn't sound like a far-fetched idea.

Texas Pacific Land combines its established, high-margin oil and gas royalty business with significant investment in a rapidly growing water segment. Major optionality lies in TPL's initiative to commercialize freeze-thaw desalination for produced water. TPL appears underfollowed and potentially misclassified, suggesting the market may underestimate the long-term value potential.

Energy stocks are proving their strength, outperforming the market despite oil price stagnation. Structural shifts, deglobalization, and inflation favor long-term upside. Shale growth is slowing, and oil companies are prioritizing cash flow over expansion. With rising costs, $70 oil is the new $50, limiting U.S. production at lower prices. Uncertainty in policy and tariffs adds pressure, but I see oil stabilizing near $90 long term. My top energy picks remain strong plays for income and capital appreciation.

Evaluating stocks involves considering many crucial factors, but the ability to generate cash is of uniquely paramount importance. At the end of the day, a business centers around the idea of generating cash over net income.

President Trump aims to lower oil prices, but domestic production growth faces challenges. The administration may turn to OPEC+ and political pressure to boost supply. Despite short-term volatility, my long-term oil thesis remains strong. U.S. producers remain competitive, and global demand continues to grow, supporting energy investments. I focus on high-quality oil and gas stocks with strong balance sheets, low breakeven prices, and deep reserves. These companies offer stability and long-term upside.

Inflation remains a major concern, but I'm not worried - I'm prepared. I've identified two stocks that thrive in this environment and strengthen my portfolio. These companies offer reliable income, pricing power, and long-term stability. Their fundamentals position them to outperform despite economic uncertainty. I'm confident in these picks and am putting my own money behind them. While no investment is risk-free, these stocks give me the edge I need against inflation.
