Earnings Scheduled For February 19, 2025

On Wednesday, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOG#NYSE">NOG</a>) provided a fourth-quarter 2024 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43679675/nog-provides-fourth-quarter-2024-operational-update-provides-initial-2025-capital-and-production-g" rel="noreferrer noopener">operational update and 2025 guidance</a>.
The company sees fourth-quarter production of 131.0–132.0 MBoe per day, which is near the upper range of its annual production guidance.
The company&#8217;s elective Ground Game and leasehold acquisitions in the quarter totaled $27 million.
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter, excluding non-budgeted transactions, are projected at $231 million – $232 million.
Nick O&#8217;Grady, NOG&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;Our platform delivered over 25% production growth in 2024 despite an unusual confluence of events that dampened production in the fourth quarter and heading into 2025. Despite these events, we are optimistic about our positioning for the future.&#8221;
Outlook: For 2025, Northern Oil and Gas expects production of 130.0–135.0 MBoe per day and a capital budget of $1.05 billion – $1.20 billion to support increased activity <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">aimed at driving growth in 2026</a>.
In particular, the company projects oil production of 75,000 – 79,000 Bbls per day of the total in 2025.
NOG expects a significant increase in its wells-in-process list in 2025, with 106–110 net well spuds projected to outpace the completion of 97–99 net wells.
Natural gas completions are anticipated to reach 8.0–10.0 net wells, marking a substantial rise from 2024, with most of these completions scheduled for the second half of 2025.
Adam Dirlam, NOG&#8217;s President, said, &#8220;In the fourth quarter, NOG took advantage of the seasonal weakness in the A&amp;D market. We signed our joint development agreement in Appalachia, had our busiest quarter of the year with our Ground Game, and in February signed another Midland Basin joint venture.&#8221;
&#8221;We continue to see a multitude of opportunities across our respective basins as we head into 2025 and are encouraged with the prospects ahead of us.&#8221;
Last month, the Board of Directors declared a first-quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.45 per share, reflecting a 12.5% increase year over year and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43287479/nog-declares-0-45-quarterly-cash-dividend-12-5-increase-year-over-year-provides-update-on-share-re" rel="noreferrer noopener">a 7% rise from the previous quarter</a>.
The dividend is payable on April 30, 2025, to stockholders of record as of March 28, 2025.
The company plans to release its fourth quarter and year-end 2024&nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">results on February 19, 2025</a>.

What 7 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Northern Oil & Gas

RBC Capital analyst Scott Hanold reiterates Northern Oil &amp; Gas (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOG#NYSE">NOG</a>) with a Sector Perform and maintains $45 price target.

As the largest publicly traded dedicated non-operator, NOG has a large pipeline of acquisition opportunities and the Company frequently sends expressions of interest to acquire assets or businesses in order to evaluate and conduct due diligence on potential opportunities. Many of these requests to conduct diligence are rejected. The Company is not currently engaged in formal negotiations to acquire Granite Ridge.

Reported Friday, NOG Addressed Speculation On Granite Ridge Acquisition, Confirms No Formal Negotiations

Northern Oil and Gas <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=NOG.N">NOG.N</a> has made an acquisition offer for Granite Ridge Resources <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=GRNT.N">GRNT.N</a>, a smaller U.S. producer with operations in basins including the Permian and Eagle Ford, according to people familiar with the matter. Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Northern has submitted at least two offers for Granite Ridge, the sources said, adding the latest bid, made in recent weeks, was at a roughly 20% premium to the target's share price. While Granite Ridge's management has rebuffed the overtures so far, Northern remains interested in a deal and could sweeten its offer next year, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. Granite Ridge declined comment. Northern did not respond to a request for comment. Granite Ridge is majority owned by entities controlled by private equity firm Grey Rock Investment Partners, which was founded by Matt Miller and Griffin Perry, who also serve as co-chairmen of the Dallas-based company. The other co-founder of Grey Rock, Kirk Lazarine, also sits on the board. The company's shares, which have been trading in New York since its 2022 merger with a blank-check acquisition firm backed by former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan, have fallen about 12% during the last three months, slightly underperforming the S&amp;P 500 Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=.SPLRCOILP">.SPLRCOILP</a> index. Granite Ridge's shares were trading at $5.72 on Friday, giving it a market value of nearly $750 million. It also had debt net of cash of about $136 million as of the end of September, according to data from LSEG. Both Northern and Granite Ridge specialize in so-called non-op production, which means they contribute a share of the drilling costs and other expenses to get a share of the revenue from the sale of hydrocarbons, while another producer is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the oil and gas wells. Northern is one of the largest non-op producers in the U.S. shale patch, and has grown in recent times through a variety of smaller acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures. If it succeeds in clinching a deal for Granite Ridge, it would rank as Northern's largest ever acquisition. Northern and Granite Ridge operate across multiple shale basins, including the Permian basin located in Texas and New Mexico, and the Williston formation in North Dakota. A takeover of Granite Ridge would also give Northern a presence in the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and Denver-Julesburg basins.

<h3>A Look at Northern Oil &amp; Gas P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Northern Oil &amp; Gas has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 14.31 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
