Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Matador Resources will report Q3 2025 earnings on Oct. 21 after the market closes.
Production growth from the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford is expected to support results.
Mixed estimate revisions and weaker pricing trends point to a challenging quarterly outlook.
Matador Resources Company (MTDR - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 21, after market close.
Let us examine the factors that are expected to have influenced the performance of the U.S.-based oil and natural gas exploration and production company in the third quarter.
Highlights of Q2 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, its adjusted earnings of $1.53 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.29, primarily driven by higher total production volumes.
MTDR’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 11.85%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of $1.26 has witnessed one downward and one upward revision in the past seven days. The estimated figure suggests a decline of 31.8% from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $902.3 million indicates a 0.28% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider
Matador Resources is expected to have sustained a stable performance in the third quarter, supported by its oil-rich acreages in premier shale basins in the United States, including the Delaware Basin in southeast New Mexico and West Texas, and the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas. According to our model, the company’s oil production is expected to have grown approximately 17.5% year over year, supporting its revenues and profitability.
However, Matador is anticipated to have faced margin pressure from softer commodity prices. Per the data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average West Texas Intermediate spot prices for July, August and September of this year were $68.39, $64.86 and $64 per barrel, respectively. These figures were notably lower compared to $81.80, $76.68 and $70.24 per barrel in the corresponding period of the previous year. Average oil prices fell sharply during the quarter compared to the prior-year levels, likely squeezing upstream profitability despite growing production levels.
These factors are anticipated to have impacted demand and pricing dynamics, potentially affecting Matador Resources’ quarterly performance.
