HPK Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
HighPeak Energy Inc. has demonstrated a solid production performance, reporting an average of 51.3 mboepd in the last quarter, which marks a 6% increase quarter-over-quarter, driven by stable operational activity with two rigs and one frac crew in operation. The company's successful drilling of 16.9 net wells, also reflecting a 6% quarter-over-quarter uplift, suggests enhanced productivity and effective capital management, contributing to its positive outlook as it maintains a robust pipeline of drilling and completion activities. Additionally, recent refinancings and improved free cash flow have bolstered HighPeak's liquidity, allowing it to sustain an active three-rig program into 2024, which is likely to enhance its financial performance moving forward.
Bears say
HighPeak Energy Inc. has reported lower-than-expected EBITDAX and free cash flow (FCF) for the third quarter, primarily due to higher-than-anticipated capital expenditures and operating expenses, which overshadowed any slight gains in production. Concerns regarding the company’s asset quality suggest that it may yield lower returns compared to its peers, raising caution about potential FCF in 2024 amidst ongoing high capital spending and subpar well results. Additionally, HighPeak's substantial debt load compounded by high interest rates casts further doubt on its financial stability, underlining the overall negative outlook for the company's future performance.
