Description: VIST Vista Oil Gas November 05, 2025
Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VIST) is a Mexico-based upstream firm that explores and produces oil and gas primarily in Latin America, with its flagship assets in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta shale play and additional producing fields in both Argentina and Mexico. The company, incorporated in 2017 and renamed from Vista Oil & Gas in April 2022, conducts drilling and work-over operations focused on expanding its Vaca Muerta footprint.
Key operating metrics (Q4 2024) show a 12% YoY increase in proven reserves to 210 MMboe, while daily production averaged 14,800 boe/d, driven largely by higher well-head output in Vaca Muerta. The firm’s cash flow remains sensitive to Brent crude prices; a $5 rise in Brent typically lifts adjusted EBITDA by roughly 8%, reflecting the sector’s exposure to global price cycles and Argentina’s fiscal regime for hydrocarbons.
