Viper Energy Stock Rises on 109% Revenue Growth and Raised Production Guidance
Viper Energy shares rose 1.56% after reporting 109% revenue growth and raising oil production guidance, though the stock remains down 9.39% over the past month.
Viper Energy (VNOM) shares gained 1.56% on Friday to close at $44.38, as the oil and gas mineral rights company reported a 109% year-on-year revenue surge and raised its production guidance for 2026. The company beat EBITDA and EPS estimates, driven by stronger activity from its key operating partner, Diamondback Energy.
The strong quarterly results underscore Viper Energy's ability to capitalize on the Permian Basin's robust drilling momentum. As a mineral and royalty interest company, Viper benefits directly from increased production without bearing the capital costs of drilling. The raised guidance signals confidence in continued output growth, which is positive for oil supply expectations. For energy traders, the stock's reaction reflects a broader market focus on upstream efficiency and cash flow generation. Live fuel prices and charts on NowPrice show how the broader crude complex is responding to supply-side signals from key producing regions.
Looking ahead, investors will watch Viper Energy's ability to sustain production growth amid potential OPEC+ policy shifts and US regulatory changes. The stock's year-to-date return of 14.44% and one-year total shareholder return of 10.29% indicate positive momentum, but the recent 9.39% monthly decline suggests near-term volatility. Key levels to monitor include the $40 support and $50 resistance, with the next quarterly earnings report likely to provide further clarity on production trends and partner activity.
