VIST Stock Recent News

Vista Oil & Gas (VIST) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?

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%.

Lower average realized crude oil and gas prices, as well as higher lifting expenses, hurt VIST's earnings in Q1.

Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. Sponsored ADR (VIST) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.79 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.82 per share.

Vista is a leading oil and gas producer in Argentina, focused on the Vaca Muerta shale, with top-tier assets, strong execution, and scalable infrastructure. The company delivered 51% YoY production growth in Q4 2024, supported by 25 new wells and increased operational efficiency across its shale oil development hubs. It holds 375 million barrels of proven reserves, 205,600 net acres in Vaca Muerta, and over 1,100 high-potential drilling locations across multiple core assets.

MEXICO CITY , April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Vista" or the "Company") (NYSE: VIST; BMV: VISTA) announced that it has filed its Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier today.

Vista Energy is poised for over 35% production growth in 2025, targeting 150Mboe/d by 2030, driven by efficient shale oil extraction in Argentina's Vaca Muerta basin. The company's growth strategy hinges on drilling new wells, reducing costs, and improving logistics, aiming for 70% EBITDA margins at current oil prices. Argentina's political risks and midstream capacity constraints pose challenges, but Vista's strong balance sheet and potential for M&A provide growth opportunities.

Argentina's investment climate is improving under President Javier Milei, making Vista Energy, a rapidly expanding company in the Vaca Muerta formation, a compelling buy. Vista Energy, founded by former YPF executives, has shown impressive growth since its 2019 NYSE listing, with significant revenue and asset expansion. The company's strategy focuses on reinvesting cash flow into growth, with plans to significantly increase well drilling and production in the Vaca Muerta formation.

While higher lifting expenses hurt VIST's Q4 earnings, increased production partially offsets the negative.
