What Permian Resources does

Pure-play Permian Basin (Delaware sub-basin) oil and gas producer formed via shale company mergers.

Sells oil, gas and natural-gas liquids at market prices to refiners and gas marketers, so revenue follows the oil price and its own production. It was formed in 2022 by merging Centennial Resource Development with Colgate Energy, bought Earthstone Energy in 2023, and grows by adding neighbouring acreage.

Questions

Who are Permian Resources's main competitors?
Named competitors: Diamondback Energy (FANG), Devon Energy (DVN), Matador Resources (MTDR), Coterra Energy (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes YPF SA Sponsored ADR (YPF), Expand Energy (EXE), Ovintiv (OVV), APA (APA), Aker BP (AKRBP.OL), Indian Oil (IOC.NS).
Is Permian Resources expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 8.1× against a peer median of 7.4×, 7th most expensive of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -2% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +54%, so the hurdle is -56 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Permian Resources stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +10.3% against -0.3% for the median peer; over one year +79.3%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
