Vista Energy: Price Is In The Past, But The Company Is Already In The Future
Vista delivered 47% YoY production growth in Q1 2025, while maintaining a world-class 62% EBITDA margin and $4.7/boe lifting cost. Scale didn't compromise efficiency. The acquisition of Petronas Argentina gives Vista full control of La Amarga Chica, adding reserves, infrastructure, and massive upside with 400 potential new wells. For the first time, macro tailwinds support the story: FX liberalization, fewer trade barriers, and pro-investment reforms improve margins and execution clarity.

Vista Energy: Growth, EBITDA, And Proven Reserves Will Pave The Way
The company has invested significant resources in expanding its operations. In the first four months of 2025, its production increased by 73.13% compared to 2024. My estimation suggests that Vista Energy's EV/EBITDA will decline by 10.62% in 2027 compared to 2024, which is positive. I assume negative scenarios for this forecast. With the acquisition of PEPASA, Vista Energy's proven reserves of oil and gas will increase by approximately 37.31%.
