Permian Basin Royalty Trust

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Permian Basin Royalty Trust trades at $32.4, between stages. That is +47.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of $16 to $32. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 6 straight weeks.

Today the stock is between stages. At $32.4 it trades +47.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range ($16–$32).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.1 years the stock moved +150% while the S&P 500 moved +24% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 6 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Permian Basin Royalty Trust trades at 102.5× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 59.7×, measured across 1.1 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 102.5× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 59.7× measured over 1.1 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −44.2% against a +144.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

Stage: Turning around Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Permian Basin Royalty Trust reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −66.7% at the trough to −50.0% off a 1-quarter-old trough, ROCE holding at 200.0%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

4-Factor Sector Score

No sector-relative score — Permian Basin Royalty Trust is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Oil & Gas Midstream.

The score is a rank WITHIN a peer set: every metric is scored by percentile against the other members. Without the peer set there is no score to state, so none is invented here.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −50.0% over the last 4 quarters against −42.3%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit −50.0% vs −42.3%/yr — rolling over.

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

A clean operating margin is not in our numbers for Permian Basin Royalty Trust — its accounts do not report the operating-profit line this section reads, which is common for lenders and holding companies. The sections above and below carry the readings this company's filings do support.

This company's accounts do not report the operating-profit line this section reads — common for lenders and holding companies classified outside the financial bucket. The revenue and net-profit sections are the cleaner reads for Permian Basin Royalty Trust.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −100.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Permian Basin Royalty Trust does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day-counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

Returns on capital ROE is the profit the business earns on the money invested in it — the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

An annual ROE ladder is not held for Permian Basin Royalty Trust.

We do not hold an annual ROE series for Permian Basin Royalty Trust. Its filings carry the return lines we would need as blanks rather than numbers, so this page does not estimate one. The revenue, margin, cash-flow and ownership sections are the reads we stand behind.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

A borrowings history is not in our numbers for this stock.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Permian Basin Royalty Trust: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.
