Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PR

11/02/2026: PR (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 12 days. Simulated Profits (-0.12%). Updated daily EoD!

Permian Resources Corporation is an independent, oil-weighted exploration and production company operating primarily in the Delaware Basin. The company has a leading position in this premier shale region, bolstered by its 2022 merger which created significant scale and operational efficiencies. Its core investment story revolves around disciplined capital allocation and the return of free cash flow to shareholders via a variable dividend program. However, investors face risks related to high commodity price volatility, geographic concentration, and long-term energy transition trends. The stock may best suit investors looking for direct energy exposure and income potential, while requiring monitoring of oil pricing and drilling cost trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PR receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.0%) and solid profitability (net margin 18.5%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-5.0%), moderate revenue growth (+1.3%), modest insider ownership of 4.61%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PR's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (11.0% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is PR's strongest growth driver at +91.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+1.3%, moderate) and earnings growth (-5.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 93.9% and approximately 95.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.61% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.44%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.93%
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 4.56%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.27%
State Street Corp 3.31%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PR generates approximately $327 of gross profit, $290 of operating income, and $110 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and soft cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.55%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PR has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
