Is Vista Energy A Growth Stock At A Value Price? Production Poised To Double By 2030
Vista Energy's aggressive growth strategy aims to double production by 2030, leveraging its high-return shale oil assets in Argentina's Vaca Muerta basin. Despite high Capex costs, Vista Energy's valuation appears relatively cheap, with strong EBITDA margins and improving financial metrics. The company's future outlook is positive, but risks include Argentina's political and economic stability.

Vista's Impressive Execution Continues, But The Stock Is Only Fairly Priced.
Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V.'s 3Q24 results show strong production growth, but transport bottlenecks and rising costs somewhat affect its margins. Production guidance for 2025 increased to 95-100 thousand boe/day, with a long-term goal of 150 thousand boe/day by 2030. Valuation models suggest Vista Energy needs Brent prices between $70-$75 to achieve a 15% yield, considering Argentina's economic instability.
