Published on 09/01/2026 at 15:22 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Viper Energy Inc. (US92763M1053) started Tuesday at $44.79, with a $16.09 billion market value and a 12-month range of $35.10 to $51.13. The latest reported quarter showed revenue of $677.00 million, up 127.9% year over year, while earnings per share came in at $0.76 and matched consensus.
Quarterly numbers
The same update put net margin at 2.89% and return on equity at 3.43%, which gives the rebound in sales a tighter earnings frame. On the current analyst snapshot, the company carries a Moderate Buy rating and a consensus price target of $56.93.
That target sits 27.1% above the $44.79 opening level, a gap that keeps valuation and execution in the spotlight after the August 3, 2026 earnings print.
What the market is pricing
Trading also leaves the shares below the 200-day moving average of $45.01 and slightly above the 50-day average of $43.13, a setup that points to a stock still working through its recent range. The quick ratio of 6.37 and debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16 leave the balance sheet looking conservative next to the scale of the royalty base.
For Viper Energy Inc., the key question is whether the current revenue surge can translate into a stronger profit profile over the next reported quarter. The next scheduled earnings date is September 25, 2026.
Royalty model
Viper Energy Inc. owns mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties, so the business depends on commodity-linked production from third-party operators rather than direct drilling. In practice, that model can produce sharp revenue swings when realized volumes and prices move together.
Share setup
As of September 1, 2026, the shares were priced at $44.79 on NASDAQ. The market cap was $16.09 billion, and the stock traded between $35.10 and $51.13 over the past 12 months.
