LandBridge NYSE: LB reported higher first-quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA and raised its full-year 2026 outlook, citing improved visibility into commercial activity, stronger basin conditions and momentum tied to surface-use opportunities in the Delaware Basin.
LandBridge Company LLC remains my largest holding and highest-conviction Strong Buy, driven by strategic Permian land ownership and a hyper-efficient, royalty-based business model. Despite sequential revenue and EBITDA declines in 1Q26, LB raised full-year EBITDA guidance to $210–$230M, with 16% year-over-year growth and an 80% free cash flow margin. Surface use royalties surged 41%, now comprising 72% of revenue, while data center and produced water projects like Speedway offer significant embedded growth optionality.
LandBridge maintains robust growth and margins through strategic surface acreage acquisitions and a low-cost, diversified business model. Q1 2026 revenue rose 16% YoY to $51M, with operating margin expanding to 57.4%, demonstrating strong operational leverage despite increased expenses. LB's royalty-based model and expanding surface acreage position it to benefit from higher oil prices and potential demand influx in the US energy sector.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE: LB) (“LandBridge”) today announced that it has entered into a lease development agreement with PowerBridge LLC (“PowerBridge”) providing the option to lease up to ~3,400 acres in Reeves County, Texas from LandBridge for a giga-scale data center campus with up to 2 GW of initial co-located power generation under development by PowerBridge and its power partners (the “Alpha Digital Campus”).

I am shifting capital allocation toward scarcity-driven assets like energy, metals, infrastructure, and defense, as the abundance trade in software faces structural disruption from AI. My TOLL framework prioritizes companies with hard assets, durable competitive moats, and long-duration cash flows that are less vulnerable to AI-driven commoditization. Key investment themes include nuclear utilities (VST, CEG), copper producers (FCX), gold/silver streamers (FNV, WPM), grid/infrastructure suppliers (ETN, FIX), and defense/aerospace leaders (RTX, TDG).
Energy remains my top sector for long-term alpha, driven by prudent capital allocation, dwindling reserves, and underestimated demand growth. Despite recent outperformance, I am not chasing momentum; I plan to buy on weakness when geopolitical risk premiums fade. Large E&P companies are prioritizing free cash flow and reserve protection over production growth, supporting a bullish supply outlook.
QXO Inc. and LandBridge are my two largest holdings, together accounting for 25% of my portfolio. QXO is a high-conviction M&A vehicle targeting $50B in annual revenue within a decade, with Wall Street assigning a $30 price target and 50% upside. LB's unique land assets and produced water business, plus emerging data center opportunities, support a path to $1B EBITDA by 2035 and a $310 price target.
Value investing is about identifying misalignments between price and medium to long-term fundamentals, not just low multiples. I focus on high-quality, cyclical value stocks like Union Pacific, Old Dominion Freight Line, and Carlisle Companies during downturns. Hidden growth and undervalued quality, as seen in Texas Pacific Land and ONEOK, offer significant upside when the market misjudges resilience or growth.
WaterBridge Infrastructure is rated a Buy, leveraging surging Permian Basin water disposal demand through a volume-driven, contracted model with multi-year EBITDA growth potential. Pairing WBI with LandBridge offers a balanced investment: WBI delivers growth and revenue, while LB provides high-margin, capital-light stability anchored by land and pore space ownership. WBI guides to $420–460M 2026 EBITDA on $790M revenue, but faces execution and free cash flow risks due to heavy capex; LB boasts ~90% EBITDA margins and robust cash returns.
