Permian Basin Royalty Trust (ISIN US7142641045) stood at USD 33.74 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, up USD 0.62, or 1.87 percent, from the prior close of USD 33.12. The latest payout update gives the move a concrete income backdrop.

September payout sets the tone

According to PR Newswire on September 18, 2026, Argent Trust Company declared a cash distribution of USD 0.019593 per unit. The USD 913,228.22 payment is scheduled for October 15, 2026, for unitholders of record on September 30, 2026.

The distribution excludes Waddell Ranch proceeds because August production costs exceeded gross proceeds, creating a continuing excess cost position. That makes the Texas Royalty properties the immediate source of the payout.

Royalty income rises 34.6 percent

Permian Basin Royalty Trust reported royalty income of USD 4,158,812 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with USD 3,089,889 in the comparison period. The increase equals 34.6 percent and gives the payout story a stronger operating basis than the distribution figure alone.

The September distribution was funded by Texas Royalty Properties, which generated USD 1,324,846 of revenue and USD 1,189,481 of net profit for August. The trust received a USD 1,130,007 net contribution from those properties after its 95 percent net profits interest.

Stock stays below the yearly high

PBT's market capitalization was USD 1,572,580,777 on September 24, 2026, with trading volume of 31,264 units. The 52-week range was USD 16.25 to USD 37.00, placing the latest price USD 3.26 below the yearly high and USD 17.49 above the yearly low.

For investors, the central tension is visible in the operating mix: second-quarter royalty income improved against the comparison period, while Waddell Ranch remained in an excess cost position. The distribution calendar and the next quarterly disclosure therefore matter alongside the headline payout.
