LandBridge (NYSE:LB)  manages and then leases surface acreage, water rights, and other resources in the Delaware Basin. It then earns fees from easements, brackish water sales, produced water royalties, and oil and gas royalties on its acreage, and it has recently entered data center ventures.

The recent rise is due to a series of acquisitions and management’s higher guidance in Q4 2024. The company struck deals for about 53,080 acres in Lea County, New Mexico, and a big surface package called the Wolf Bone Rach. These transactions lifted its total surface ownership to 272,000 acres. EBITDA guidance was also reiterated at $170-$190 million, which surpassed earlier forecasts.

LandBridge now highlights more than 20% expected accretion to free cash flow per share in 2025 based on earlier deals. Q3 revenue rose 60% year-over-year and reached $28.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $25 million, up 62%. The company also pays a quarterly cash dividend of 10 cents per share since its IPO.

The four analysts’ price targets on the stock average $77.25 and imply a 3.5% downside.

LB stock is up 23.6% year-to-date.
