Signia Small Cap Value Strategy stated the following regarding Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
“In early September we initiated a position in Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT). Liberty Energy is one of the largest providers of completion services and technologies to onshore natural gas, oil and enhanced geothermal producers in the U.S. The firm also operates Liberty Power Innovations, focused on providing advanced distributed power generation and energy storage solutions. We had the opportunity to see Liberty present at an energy conference in the latter half of 2025 and came away impressed with the company’s culture, mission and plans for growth. Specifically, management was effectively navigating cyclical lows in its core completion services business while pursuing sizable growth opportunities through its power generation and energy storage solutions segment.
With the stock in the $10-11 range in early September and trading at 3x EV/EBITDA, we believed that the market was assigning little to no value to the Liberty Power Innovations segment. Liberty management is planning to grow its power generation and energy storage from 130 megawatts of installed capacity to roughly 500 megawatts by the end of 2026, and targeting 1,000 megawatts by the end of 2027. Trading below book value and 3x EV/EBITDA, with significant company catalysts surrounding it’s Power Innovations business, we found LBRT to be a compelling opportunity.”
