Viper Energy Inc (NASDAQ:VNOM) Surpasses Q2 2025 Earnings Estimates with Strong Permian Basin Performance

By Mill Chart

Last update: Aug 4, 2025

Viper Energy Inc (NASDAQ:VNOM), a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, surpassing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company’s performance reflects continued strength in its mineral and royalty interests in the Permian Basin, though the market reaction has been muted so far.

Earnings vs. Estimates

  • Revenue: Viper reported Q2 2025 revenue of $297 million, exceeding the consensus estimate of $291.1 million. This represents a 2% beat, driven by stable production and favorable commodity pricing.
  • EPS: The company posted EPS of $0.41, outperforming the estimated $0.3641 by approximately 12.6%. The higher-than-expected profitability suggests efficient cost management and strong royalty income.

Market Reaction

Following the earnings release, Viper’s stock showed no significant after-hours movement, remaining flat. Over the past month, shares have gained 2.57%, while weekly performance dipped slightly by 1.55%. The lack of a strong post-earnings rally could indicate that the beat was already priced in or that investors remain cautious about broader energy sector volatility.

Key Takeaways from the Press Release

  • Viper’s operations remain centered on its Permian Basin assets, with mineral and royalty interests spanning approximately 1.2 million gross acres.
  • The company’s proved reserves stand at 179,249 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE), with a balanced mix of oil (50%), natural gas liquids (25%), and natural gas (25%).
  • No explicit forward guidance was provided in the press release, leaving analysts to rely on existing estimates for future quarters.

Looking Ahead

Analysts project Q3 2025 revenue of $361.56 million and EPS of $0.35802. For the full year, estimates stand at $1.35 billion in sales and $1.68 in EPS. The absence of company-provided guidance means investors will closely monitor Permian Basin activity and commodity price trends for directional cues.
