Matador (MTDR) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

Matador is projected to generate over $600 million in 2026 free cash flow at high-$50s oil despite a lack of oil hedges. It may be able to generate $1+ billion in free cash flow at $70 oil, although that is dependent on cash income taxes too. Matador's debt situation looks solid, and its 6.25% unsecured notes due 2033 are still trading around par.

Matador (MTDR) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.

Insider buying is one of the few market signals that does not hide behind algorithms or price targets.

Among the worst-performing portions of the market of 2025, the energy sector may be ripe for a shake-up. Demand growth for some energy products is slowing while many investors seek to divest their holdings from fossil fuels, prompting companies to reduce their exploration budgets.

I rate Matador Resources (MTDR) a hold at current levels, citing its recent rally and limited near-term upside after strong Q1 performance. Lower oil prices had an impact. MTDR's Delaware Basin acreage and robust growth make it a potential M&A target, with additional upside possible from monetizing its San Mateo midstream asset. Operational efficiency gains, disciplined capital spending, and a strong share buyback program support the investment case, but current valuation appears full. I recommend monitoring for a pullback to the mid-$40s before considering entry, as the stock may consolidate or retrace after recent gains.
