PrimeEnergy Resources Corporation Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Results
PrimeEnergy reported Q2 2026 net income of $6.5 million, or $4.06 per basic share, doubling the prior year's $3.2 million results, supported by realized oil prices surging to $98.85 per barrel.
Despite the strong oil pricing, the company faced significant headwinds from negative Permian Basin natural gas prices, which averaged -$3.53 per Mcf and resulted in $9.2 million of negative gas revenue.
The company ended the quarter with a debt-free balance sheet and $28.7 million in cash, while repurchasing 31,290 shares for $5.5 million and authorizing an additional 300,000 shares for buyback.
