Texas Pacific Land: Several Bullish Narratives, One Ticker (Rating Upgrade)
Texas Pacific Land (TPL) is upgraded from Hold to Buy, reflecting a compelling intersection of oil, AI infrastructure, and hard asset narratives. TPL posted record Q2 2026 results: $246.1M revenue, $153.9M net income, 88% EBITDA margin, and nearly 50% higher net income per quarter versus 2023. Despite a 35% pullback from its 52-week high, TPL's per-acre valuation is now attractive relative to LandBridge, even after adjusting for royalty assumptions.
