Texas Pacific Land

TPL

Market cap $28.7B

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Texas Pacific Land Corporation Sets Dates for Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call.

Texas Pacific owns a large amount of land and royalty rights in West Texas in the Permian Basin. Aside from being a center for oil and gas development, West Texas is becoming a hub for AI infrastructure development.

Texas Pacific Land is now primarily an AI infrastructure and data center land play, not just an oil royalty company. TPL's valuation implies an excessive amount of GW of future data center capacity. I rate TPL a SELL with a $250 price target, as its premium bakes in excessive data center growth; LandBridge is a BUY at $75, reflecting more realistic expectations.

I present a $1 million 'All-American' portfolio blending 50% S&P 500 ETF with six sector-leading U.S. stocks. VOO anchors the portfolio for low-cost, broad exposure, while single-stock picks target finance (MA, CME), energy (TPL), agriculture (DE), aerospace/defense (RTX), and consumer (MCD). Each stock is selected for durable advantages: MA and CME for scalable, oligopolistic finance; TPL for energy royalties; DE for agricultural tech; RTX for balanced defense/commercial aerospace; MCD for global brand and real estate model.

I've decided to replace my existing Permian exploration and production exposure with Texas Pacific Land Corporation. The stock shows evidence of upside capture during bullish oil price cycles. Water services and toll-booth oil and gas royalties limit downside capture in down-cycles. I enjoy the idea of CapEx being spent on growth instead of maintenance, which is a feature distinct from oil and gas producers.

Energy sector fundamentals are strengthening as the Iran War de-risks, oil prices normalize, and cyclical growth accelerates. Low global inventories, disciplined CapEx, and secular demand drivers set up a bullish multi-year regime for energy equities. I favor Permian-focused royalty and landowners (LandBridge, Texas Pacific, Freehold Royalties), Canadian oil sands leaders (Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor Energy, Cenovus), and low-cost U.S. producers (Diamondback, Permian Resources).

Investors need to pay close attention to TPL stock based on the movements in the options market lately.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TEXAS PACIFIC LAND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE LAND AND WATER SOLUTIONS TO CHEVRON FOR A LARGE-SCALE POWER PROJECT.

An Exxon senior vice president just told Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory podcast that physical Brent cargoes are heading to $150 to $160 per barrel in the coming weeks as global inventories approach all-time lows.

Energy remains a top investment focus due to global demand, constrained supply growth, and attractive sector valuations versus the S&P 500. I highlight my preferred picks across the energy supply chain: LandBridge, Viper Energy, Helmerich & Payne, Diamondback Energy, Western Midstream, and Marathon Petroleum. VNOM offers high cash returns to shareholders, while WES and MPC provide strong yields and capital return strategies, each excelling in their respective niches.
