Our note on each quarter Vitesse Energy files

10-Q filed November 2: Vitesse Energy

Model value +604.4%

Vitesse Energy's revenue reached $300m in the twelve months to September 2026, a 10.6% rise on the prior year and an acceleration from the 8.5% growth recorded a quarter earlier. Profitability told a mixed story. Operating margin widened to 12.0%, up from 9.7% a year earlier, yet free-cash-flow margin fell sharply, from 58.9% to 33.7%. Shareholders should note that the diluted share count climbed 11.5% over the same period, diluting existing holders. Despite the margin pressure, our model value has moved up considerably, from $10.79 to $76.00 a share. That figure sits well above the current share price of $17.41, suggesting the market has not yet reflected the revenue growth and operating improvement in its valuation.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~February 1, 2027 (estimated)

Vitesse Energy, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 10.6% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 33.7%. Where it lags: change in share count of 11.5% ranks 40 of 48 oil & gas exploration & production companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$76 per share in the base case (~$56–$100 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Capital expenditure surging: TTM capex grew 220% year over year and now absorbs 8.4% of revenue.

Valuation

Vitesse Energy, Inc. valuation models and calculator

Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: only 2 valuation models apply; a rating needs 3.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Vitesse Energy, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $137M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Vitesse Energy, Inc. as an oil and gas producer, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.68 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Proved-reserve net asset value The SEC standardised measure of the company's proved oil and gas reserves (future net cash flows after tax at SEC average prices, discounted at 10%) less debt and other claims, per share. — Does not apply: latest tagged standardised measure is for 2022-12-31: out of date
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$76 ~$56–$100 Included
Price-to-earnings vs peers Earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) price-to-earnings. — Does not apply: no positive earnings in the latest twelve months
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. ~$3.8 ~$1.7–$6.5 Included
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$0.4 ~$0.3–$0.4 Left out: out of range vs price (0.02x)
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (proved-reserve net asset value) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$40 ~$3.8–$76 2 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Vitesse Energy, Inc. with oil and gas producers in our coverage, using third-party market data. Model values are estimates under stated assumptions, updated as new filings arrive; not price targets or investment advice. How each model works.
