Foolish take
The volatility in Vista Energy stock is unmistakable. The stock was up 9.9% in one year before TT International Asset Management reported its second-quarter share sale on July 10. After that institutional sale hit the headlines on the same day as the energy company's Q2 earnings report, Vista Energy shares tanked. As of this writing, the energy stock is down 10% over the past year.
Vista Energy's production and revenue surged 81% and 54% year over year, respectively, in the second quarter. Its net income soared 68% year over year. However, its earnings were driven by a one-time gain of $202.5 million on the acquisition of Petronas E&P Argentina S.A. during the quarter. Vista's adjusted earnings, excluding that one-time gain and other items such as deferred income tax and impairments, were down 21% year over year, missing analysts' consensus estimates.
Now that it has closed the Petronas E&P Argentina acquisition, Vista Energy owns a 50% stake in LACh, an unconventional black-oil asset in Vaca Muerta. The $900 million deal significantly expands Vista's production capacity while adding meaningful midstream energy assets to its portfolio, diversifying it. That makes Vista Energy an intriguing energy stock to watch.
