Texas Pacific Land

Shares of Texas Pacific Land gained about 52% in the first half of 2026 as higher oil and gas prices after the war with Iran boosted royalties and exploration on its Permian-area acreage. The company also benefited from AI data-center demand in West Texas, a $50 million investment and strategic partnership with Bolt, and a land-and-water agreement with Chevron to support a Reeves County data center. The stock trades at a rich multiple (around 55x trailing earnings) after the run, and earlier volatility followed a temporary oil-price pullback and uncertainty after the largest shareholder’s sudden CEO death. » More on finance.yahoo.com
