# Permian Resources Earns Buy Rating on Record Free Cash Flow Outlook and Peer-Leading Operations, Fair Value Set at $29

William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann has maintained their bullish stance on PR stock, giving a Buy rating today.

### TipRanks Welcomes a New ETF – NYSE:RANK

-   TipRanks has entered a new arena in the investing world, powering the index of an ETF based on its unique data now trading under the ticker RANK on the NYSE.
-   RANK tracks the performance of the TipRanks US Momentum Analysts Index, a rules-based index of 50 large U.S. companies.

Neal Dingmann has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Permian Resources’ operational discipline and cash generation. He highlights that management actively curtailed uneconomic, gas‑heavy production during severe Waha price weakness, which preserved margins and supported what he expects to be record free cash flow in the second quarter, even after factoring in notable hedge losses.

Dingmann’s rating is based on the firm’s peer‑leading operating performance, resilient cost structure, and strategic approach to M&A that focuses on inventory replacement without overpaying for assets. He also points to the company’s ability to swiftly rebalance its production mix toward higher‑value oil, maintain flat D&C costs despite inflationary pressures, and potentially deliver earnings and free cash flow above consensus, all of which underpin his suggested fair value of $29 per share and support the Buy recommendation.

In another report released today, J.P. Morgan also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $24.00 price target.
