Permian Basin Royalty Trust (PBT) Gained This Week. Here is Why.
Oil and gas engineers surveying an expansive landscape for producing oil fields.
The Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:PBT)'s principal assets are comprised of a 75% net overriding royalty interest carved out by Southland Royalty Company from its fee mineral interest in the Waddell Ranch properties in Crane County, and a 95% net overriding royalty interest carved out by Southland from its major producing royalty properties in Texas.
Investors reacted positively this week after Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:PBT) announced a monthly dividend of $0.0188 per share for the month of May, payable on June 13, 2025, to unit holders of record on May 30, 2025. This was down 4.1% from the previous month's dividend, primarily due to the Texas Royalty Properties having lower oil volumes, along with lower oil and natural gas pricing, partially offset by slightly higher natural gas volumes for the month reported.
Despite the recent surge, the share price of Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:PBT) has fallen by over 4% since the beginning of 2025.
While we acknowledge the potential of PBT to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.

BHP Group Ltd (BHP) (FY 2025) Earnings Call Highlights: Record Production and Strategic ...
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: August 19, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP) achieved record iron ore and copper production, with copper volumes growing by 28% over the past three years. The company delivered a strong financial performance with an underlying EBITDA margin of 53% and a return on capital employed of 21%. BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP) paid a final dividend of 60 US cents per share, resulting in a full-year dividend of $5.6 billion. The company achieved gender balance in its global workforce, with female representation now at 41.3%, contributing to better business performance. BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP) has reduced its capital spend by $1 billion per year over the medium term and revised its target net debt range to $10 to $20 billion. Negative Points The company experienced a 10% decline in EBITDA due to unfavorable commodity prices, despite favorable foreign exchange rates. BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP) encountered higher inflation and cost escalation than anticipated, particularly affecting the Jansen project. The pace of development for decarbonization technology has slowed, delaying anticipated operational decarbonization spend to the 2030s. Higher labor costs over and above CPI inflation impacted the company's financial performance. The transition to closure for New South Wales Energy Coal is progressing, indicating a phase-out of operations in that segment. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with BHP. Is BHP fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Q: Can you elaborate on the factors contributing to the 10% decline in EBITDA? A: The decline in EBITDA was entirely due to commodity prices. While we benefited from favorable foreign exchange rates, these were offset by inflationary pressures. Despite this, our operational performance remained strong, with copper equivalent volume growth up around 4%. (CFO, Vendita Pant) Q: How has BHP managed to maintain its position as the lowest cost major iron ore producer globally? A: Western Australia iron ore has consistently demonstrated its leadership with record production and shipments, achieving an EBITDA margin of 63%. Our costs are just $17.29 per ton, maintaining our status as the lowest cost major iron ore producer for six consecutive years. (CFO, Vendita Pant) Q: What are the future growth projections for BHP's production? A: Assuming our projects proceed as planned, we anticipate an average production growth of 2.2% per annum over the next decade. This growth is supported by our focus on highly attractive commodities and world-class assets. (CEO, Mike Henry) Q: Can you discuss the impact of inflation and cost escalation on the Jansen project? A: We encountered higher inflation and cost escalation than anticipated, particularly in surface works. We've taken action to contain these costs and will apply learnings to future projects. The first production for stage 2 has been extended by two years to free up capital for higher returning projects. (CEO, Mike Henry) Q: How is BHP addressing the challenges in decarbonization technology development? A: The pace of development for our decarbonization technology, particularly diesel displacement, has slowed. We now expect operational decarbonization spending to occur in the 2030s, aligning with the delayed timeline for critical technologies. However, we remain on track to meet our 2030 target for operational greenhouse gas emissions.

Bloom Energy (BE) Stock in Focus: Jefferies Sticks With Hold Amid Growth Catalysts
Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:) is one of the On August 18, Jefferies analyst Lloyd Byrne reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $24.00 price target. The firm quoted several potential catalysts working in favor of the stock, including a letter from PJM Interconnection, the CEO's Bloomberg interview, and potential read-throughs from Crowdstrike earnings. It also estimated that investors may be expecting around 1GW of sales in 2027. The firm considers this target a possibility due to Bloom Energy's capacity expansion to 2GW by year-end 2026. 'We estimate the buyside could be baking in ~1GW of sales in '27. With BE expanding capacity to 2GW (1.3GW for product, rest for service) by YE26, hitting that target is possible. However, cadence and timing of deals matter, and we question whether investors are getting ahead of themselves. With BE +20% last week: expectations are ramping with DC deal & efforts by PJM to require new supply with new load. At current levels, we try to determine implied volumes. The stock is currently trading at ~22x '27E EBITDA of $526mn. The median multiple for data center / hyperscalers adjacent cos is ~18x (Ex – 2). To justify a more 'normalized' multiple, investors might be baking much higher EBITDA growth vs sell-side cons.' Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) develops solid-oxide fuel cell systems for on-site power generation, helping meet the growing energy demands of AI data centers. While we acknowledge the potential of BE as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
