Artisan Partners, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:
“We made one new purchase this quarter, adding Permian Resources Corporation (NYSE:PR), an independent oil and gas company. PR is focused solely on the Delaware Basin of West Texas and southwestern New Mexico—the most prolific oil-producing region in the US. The founders and co CEOs, who also have large ownership interests in the business, have sought to build a business that can produce substantial free cash flow, return capital to shareholders and generate attractive equity returns across varied commodities price environments. To achieve these goals, PR has pursued best-in-class operations and responsible capital stewardship by thoughtfully acquiring assets it believes are undervalued and divesting acreage it believes would be better in someone else’s hands, while meaningfully returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends. We always seek to align ourselves with shareholder-oriented management teams, but this is even more critical when investing in mid-sized energy companies given their dependence on the underlying commodity prices and minimal diversification by business and geography as well as the sector’s general predilection for reinvesting capital for growth rather than returns. Shares were rangebound for much of 2024 as macro fears have weighed on oil prices and energy sector stocks, giving us an opportunity to purchase a strong operator at a favorable price.”
