Texas Pacific Land earnings put recent share moves in context

Texas Pacific Land (TPL) released second quarter and first half 2026 results that will likely be front and center for anyone tracking the stock after recent price weakness.

The company reported second quarter revenue of US$246.06 million and net income of US$153.93 million. Earnings per share from continuing operations were US$2.23 on both a basic and diluted basis.

At a share price of US$355.64, Texas Pacific Land has seen recent momentum fade, with the share price falling 11.7% over the past month. However, the 1 year total shareholder return of 23.76% and 5 year total shareholder return of 125.31% still point to substantial longer term gains.

Texas Pacific Land now trades well below both intrinsic value estimates and analyst targets after a sharp pullback. Is that discount a sign of excessive caution or a fair response to the risks investors see?

Want to see what is sitting behind that premium fair value? The narrative leans on steady double digit revenue growth, firm margins, and a rich future earnings multiple. Curious how those moving parts combine under a 7.1% discount rate and a higher than industry P/E profile.

Result: Fair Value of $445 (UNDERVALUED)

However, there are still clear risks for Texas Pacific Land if decarbonization pressures oil demand, or if tighter water regulation in Texas raises costs and limits activity.

Another View on Texas Pacific Land’s valuation
