Why is Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (VIST) Losing This Week?
We recently published a list of Energy Stocks that are Losing This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:VIST) stands against other energy stocks that are losing this week. In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are losing this week. President Donald Trump is seeking to lower energy costs for American consumers with a focus on the oil and gas sector, pushing the industry to increase production rapidly. However, industry executives have been nothing but skeptical of the President's policies given the declining oil prices and the constant uncertainty regarding the administration's tariff policy. The imposition of the 25% steel tariff has already led oil and gas companies to estimate a 4% increase in costs for drilling a well. Moreover, the US is already the largest oil producer on the planet. The country's oil and gas operators produced more than 13.49 million barrels of crude per day in December 2024, an all-time high rate of production. Increasing the production even higher means a further decline in prices, reducing the profits for producers and refiners. The spot price of the US benchmark for crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, is currently hovering just below $70, and analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights expect WTI to average $66 per barrel in 2025. For comparison, the average WTI crude oil price for 2024 came in at $76.55. That said, as of the writing of this piece, the broader energy sector has gained 7.5% since the beginning of the year, against a decline of around 3% by the wider market.

Share Price Decline Between Mar. 17 and Mar. 24: 4.56% Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:VIST) is a leading independent operator with its main assets in Vaca Muerta, the largest shale oil and shale gas play under development outside North America. Shares of Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:VIST) continued to plunge after the company reported weaker-than-expected results in Q4 2024. VIST reported an adjusted EPS of $0.23, far below forecasts of $0.93. The company's adjusted net income during the quarter totaled $22.1 million, compared to $239.6 million during Q4 2023, primarily due to an interannual increase in current income tax expense. However, VIST revealed a 52% YoY increase in oil production in Q4 and bought back $100 million in shares during the full year of 2024. Overall, VIST ranks 10th on our list of energy stocks that are losing this week.
