Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TPL

11/06/2026: TPL (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Texas Pacific Land Corporation is a unique entity that acts as both a landlord and a utility provider within the high-production Permian Basin. By combining mineral royalties with high-margin water infrastructure services, the company captures significant value from regional energy development without the operational risks of drilling. Its core opportunity lies in the continued intensification of Permian oil activity and the expansion of its water utility business. However, investors must consider risks related to commodity price volatility and geographic concentration. The stock typically suits investors comfortable with energy-sector cyclicality who seek exposure to foundational land assets and infrastructure growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TPL receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TPL has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with strong financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+6.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 60.9%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.40%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TPL's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 85.5% and operating margin of 74.2%. Cash strength is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 5-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is TPL's strongest growth driver at +13.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Earnings growth (+6.0%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+5.5%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 75.2% and approximately 85.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.40%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

★★★★★
TPL generates approximately $855 of gross profit, $742 of operating income, and $609 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.13%

Quantitative Style Profile

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