Description: VNOM Viper Energy Ut January 06, 2026
Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VNOM) is a U.S.–based oil and natural gas company that acquires, owns, and operates mineral and royalty interests, with a strategic focus on oil-weighted basins-most notably the Permian Basin in West Texas. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Midland, Texas, Viper functions as a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc.
Key operational metrics (as of the most recent 10-K): 2023 net production averaged roughly 6,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), and the company reported a cash-flow conversion of about 1.2 × net income, reflecting relatively low operating leverage. The balance sheet showed total debt of $210 million against a market-cap of roughly $600 million, yielding a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 0.7, which is modest for a shale-focused E&P firm.
Sector drivers that materially affect Viper’s outlook include: (1) Permian Basin drilling activity, which has risen ~12 % YoY in Q4 2023, expanding acreage and production potential; (2) crude-oil price volatility, where the realized price per barrel has averaged $78 ± $12 over the past 12 months, directly impacting cash flow; and (3) regulatory and fiscal policy in Texas, where the state’s relatively low severance tax (4.6 %) supports higher net margins compared with higher-tax jurisdictions.
If you want to dig deeper into Viper’s valuation nuances-such as its royalty-focused cash-flow profile and sensitivity to oil-price scenarios-ValueRay offers a concise, data-driven dashboard worth a look.
