What Vermilion Energy does

International oil and gas producer with assets in Canada, Europe (including Corrib gas in Ireland) and Australia.

Sells oil and gas at market-linked prices in each region: Canadian oil and gas, oil in France, and European gas priced off European hubs, which have usually paid more than North American gas. Where output sits therefore matters as much as how much there is. Corrib in Ireland is one of its main European gas sources.

In one line: A geographically diversified international oil & gas producer.

Questions

Who are Vermilion Energy's main competitors?
Named competitors: Athabasca Oil Corporation (ATH.TO), Baytex Energy (BTE.TO), Tourmaline Oil (TOU.TO). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Spartan Delta (SDE.TO), Etablissements Maurel & Prom (MAU.PA), NextDecade (NEXT), Energean (ENOG.L), BlueNord (BNOR.OL), Beach Energy (BPT.AX).
Is Vermilion Energy expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 4.3× against a peer median of 9.9×, 3rd cheapest of 18 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -1% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +9%, so the hurdle is -10 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Vermilion Energy stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -8.7% against -16.3% for the median peer; over one year +42.8%.

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.
