Vital Energy: Hedges Protect Its 2025 Free Cash Flow
Vital Energy, Inc. is now projected to generate $267 million in 2025 free cash flow. This is helped by its hedges, with around 94% of its 2H 2025 oil production hedged. Vital has significantly fewer 2026 hedges, so it is relying on service cost decreases to lower its corporate breakeven point.

Vista Energy: Growth, EBITDA, And Proven Reserves Will Pave The Way
The company has invested significant resources in expanding its operations. In the first four months of 2025, its production increased by 73.13% compared to 2024. My estimation suggests that Vista Energy's EV/EBITDA will decline by 10.62% in 2027 compared to 2024, which is positive. I assume negative scenarios for this forecast. With the acquisition of PEPASA, Vista Energy's proven reserves of oil and gas will increase by approximately 37.31%.
