Q3 2025 delivered strong production growth, with total output up 74% Y/Y, leading to upgraded guidance as the company accelerates its drilling activity in Vaca Muerta. Oil and gas prices showed moderate recovery, supported by a higher export share of the revenue mix. Election results in Argentina make the market soar after Milei's pro-market government significantly strengthened its position in Congress.

Vista achieved 74% YoY production growth and 53% YoY revenue growth, driven by record productivity in Bajada del Palo Oeste and La Amarga Chica, consolidating its leadership in Vaca Muerta. Adjusted EBITDA rose 52% YoY to $472MM, with a 67% margin and lifting costs at $4.4/boe—confirming its world-class operational efficiency and cost discipline. The Petronas Argentina integration strengthened VIST's scale and cash flow visibility, while a $500MM term loan enhanced financial flexibility and accelerated new well activity.

Vista Energy is reaffirmed as a strong buy, excelling operationally despite recent political and commodity price volatility. VIST delivered robust Q3 2025 results: production surged 74% year-over-year, revenues rose 53%, and EBITDA margin remained strong at 67%. Operational efficiency, low production costs, and full export price parity position VIST for continued growth, with further upside if oil prices recover.

Higher output from Bajada del Palo Oeste and La Amarga Chica boosts VIST's Q3 earnings and revenues.
