$TPL (-2,73%)

Is this company the secret winner of the oil and gas boom in the Permian Basin? Anyone who thinks that only oil companies are making money from the commodities boom should take a look at Texas Pacific Land take a look at

Earning money without doing anything yourself

The business model is very simple and extremely profitable. Texas Pacific Land does not sell oil or gas itself, but leases its land to production companies.

These companies generally pay lease and license fees that flow directly to TPL. As a result, the company benefits directly from the expansion of production without having to drill its own wells or bear the technical and financial costs. Risiko bear the technical and financial costs.

In addition, TPL automatically records higher income when production volumes increase, even if commodity prices fluctuate in the meantime.

In addition to the rights to oil and gas production, Texas Pacific Land has other sources of income. Some of the land is leased for agricultural purposes, while others are sold for residential or commercial projects. The water rights that the company holds in some regions are particularly valuable.

The figures impressively show how lucrative this business is. In the last ten years, turnover has increased from USD 79 million to USD 706 million.

This contrasts with minimal expenditure, as Texas Pacific Land only employs just over 100 people - the operating margin is around 75%.

During this time, net income has climbed from USD 42 million to USD 454 million, or from USD 1.76 to USD 19.75 per share.

Outlook and valuation

Texas Pacific Land combines characteristics that are extremely rare in this form. On the one hand, the company participates in the above-average profits of the commodities sector without being fully exposed to cyclical risks. On the other hand, TPL has an enormous asset value in the form of thousands of square kilometers of land in the heart of one of the most valuable energy landscapes in the world.

Nevertheless, the company largely flies under the radar. For example, there is virtually no coverage by banks and research houses or estimates for turnover or profit.

In the first half of the year, Texas Pacific Land generated earnings of USD 10.29 per share, compared with USD 9.95 in the previous year. This means that earnings rose despite the decline in the oil price, which is attributable to the ongoing increase in production capacity in the Permian Basin.

Estimates for this year's earnings are between USD 21 and USD 26 per share. Texas Pacific Land therefore has a forward P/E of between 36.7 and 45.4.

This is certainly not low, either in absolute or relative terms - but there are hardly any companies with an operating margin of 75% and such gigantic assets that also generate a steady cash flow

A bottom is currently forming. If a breakout above USD 963 now succeeds, a procyclical uptrend will ensue. Kaufsignal with possible price targets at USD 1,000 and USD 1,095.

However, if the share falls below USD 862, the bulls will have lost their chance for the time being.

Hello my dears,

The CEO makes a major contribution to how successful a company is.

A CEO plays a crucial role in the success of a company. According to studies, a CEO's performance has a significant impact on company performance, with estimates ranging up to 45%. An effective CEO can increase company value through strategic direction, leadership and decision-making, while poor leadership can lead to stagnation or even decline.

Here are some aspects of how a CEO contributes to a company's success:

Strategic direction:

The CEO sets the long-term vision and strategy of the company and ensures that resources are utilized efficiently.

Leadership and motivation:

A good CEO motivates and leads employees, creates a positive corporate culture and promotes collaboration.

Decision-making:

The CEO makes important decisions that drive the company forward, whether in terms of products, markets or investments.

Communication:

The CEO is the mouthpiece of the company and communicates both internally and externally to create trust and transparency.

Crisis management:

A capable CEO can react quickly and effectively in crisis situations to avert damage to the company.

A CEO change can have a significant impact on a company, both positive and negative. If a new CEO comes in with a clear vision and effective leadership style, this can lead to a significant upturn, whereas a change to a less capable leader can lead to problems.

The role of the CEO is therefore of great importance for the success or failure of a company. A good CEO is more than just a manager; he or she is a visionary, a leader and a crisis manager who leads the company through all the ups and downs.

Dear ones, which are your favorite CEOs?

And do you even know the CEOs of your investments?

I have to admit I don't know all 59 🙈🙈

But maybe one of your CEOs is one of the 10 from 2024.

To determine the ten most successful CEOs of the year for shareholders, the business medium "The Economist" has compiled a list of CEOs whose total shareholder returns were particularly high compared to the average of listed companies in the S&P Global 1200. The S&P Global 1200 comprises the most valuable companies outside China and India. The information is based on data from "Bloomberg" and was collected between January and December 19, 2024.

10 John-Christophe Tellier (UCB) $UCB (-2,4%)

Jean-Christophe Tellier is the CEO of UCB, a global biopharmaceutical company based in Brussels. UCB specializes in the development of therapies for people with serious diseases, particularly in the fields of neurology and immunology.

In 2024, the launch of the anti-inflammatory drug Bimzelx in the US led to a sharp rise in the share price. UCB thus achieved a total shareholder return 133 percent higher than the average of the companies in the S&P 1200 over the period under review.

9 Rick Smith (Axon Enterprise). $AXON (-4,73%)

Rick Smith is the founder and CEO of Axon Enterprise, a technology company that develops public safety solutions. Originally founded in 1993 as Taser International, the company made a name for itself with the development of stun guns used by law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Despite repeated reports of a toxic workplace culture at Axon, the company has had a successful year. The rise in the share price was spurred on by the comments of the newly elected US President Donald Trump, who wants to further militarize the US federal police force. Axon Enterprise generated a 149% higher total shareholder return in 2024 than the average company in the S&P 1200.

8th Tyler Glover (Texas Pacific Land). $TPL (-2,73%)

Tyler Glover is the CEO of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (TPL), one of the largest private landowners in Texas and an influential company in the energy and real estate industries.

5 Seiji Izumisawa (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries)

$$7011 (-5,72%)

Seiji Izumisawa is the CEO of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), a Japanese industrial conglomerate that operates in a variety of sectors, including aerospace, power generation, shipbuilding, engineering and defense.

Under his leadership, Nvidia has evolved from a manufacturer of graphics chips for computers to a global technology giant that also offers solutions for AI, deep learning, cloud computing and self-driving cars.

The rapid growth resulting from the AI hype slowed down this year. The high expectations of analysts were not quite met. Nevertheless, Huang was able to achieve a 180% higher total return for its shareholders in 2024 than the S&P 1200 average.

3rd Jim Burke (Vistra). $VST (-7,1%)

Jim Burke is the CEO of Vistra, an energy supply company based in Irving, Texas. Vistra is engaged in the generation and distribution of electricity and operates a broad portfolio of energy assets, including gas, coal, wind and solar power plants.

In 2024, Siemens Energy achieved a total return 312 percent higher than the S&P 1200 average due to the recovery of the share price.

1 Alex Karp (Palantir). $PLTR (-7,09%)

I would have expected some of the CEOs here, but there are also a few that I would not have expected.

I am invested in Siemens Energy, Vistra and NVIDIA

Unfortunately, UCB didn't make it from the Watch into my portfolio.

I hope you enjoyed the presentation of the CEOs.

Please let me know in the comments.

$FICO (-2,99%)
$HEI (-3,31%)
$PH (-3,49%) and $TDG (-0,29%) particularly liked. The dear @Tenbagger2024 also shared a great article on Transdigm, which you can find in the comments. $CSU (-0,41%) and $TPL (-2,73%) are expected to show stronger growth towards the end of Q3, which is related to the acquisition speed, especially I hope the $TPL (-2,73%) acquires new flats.

If you are interested in a detailed earnings review on $TPL (-2,73%) just write a comment.

Enjoy the nice weather <3

Disclaimer: the portfolio here is only for visualization on Getquin, after the hint of @Epi
I decided to create the whole thing as a wikifolio. Since I am planning to invest in the whole thing myself, I am of course happy about every reservation <3.

Wikifolio: https://www.wikifolio.com/de/de/w/wf000natxc

First of all, this is a short presentation of the companies, I will post more detailed articles in the coming days/weeks, otherwise this would go beyond the scope of this article. I look forward to your questions :)

I hope the formatting is ok so far.

The portfolio focuses on:

• Companies with strong economic moats (market leadership, high switching costs, unique assets and mission-critical products).
• Scalable business models with high/stable margins and strong free cash flow that can be efficiently reinvested (without innovation).
• Management teams with proven capital allocation skills and long-term incentives.
• long-term shareholder value

The Holdings:

The portfolio achieves the broadest possible diversification with targeted exposure to first-class compounders. Through acquisition strategies, the companies increasingly cover more and more niches within a sector, which simultaneously promotes diversification and growth.

I know that there are a few companies that would also fit in here, but I particularly wanted to include some that are less well known and not represented in most portfolios. For example, most people here already have Berkshire, Mastercard, Visa or other tech companies in their portfolios anyway.

The portfolio is not a standalone, or rather I see it as an addition to specifically bring compounders (which are also partly uninteresting for "beginners" due to the high share price) into the portfolio and thus directly overweight them, since as far as I know they are also underweighted in every ETF and therefore cannot provide any real added value.

If you want to invest in the Wikifolio, a share should have a weighting of >30% and will be rebalanced.

I am curious about the new ETF from @lawinvest let's see if we have a chance against the Ultimate Homer @Simpson have a chance against the Ultimate Homer.

The search for quality stocks in the energy sector is more challenging than in many other sectors. The high cyclicality, strong dependence on commodity prices and capital cost-intensive business models often lead to fluctuating margins, low returns on capital and balance sheet weaknesses.

Despite these challenges, there are companies that stand out positively thanks to their solid financial position, strategic focus or innovative business model. Here I present a selection that I find interesting despite certain compromises:

Energiekontor $EKT (-8,55%) (growth value, cash flow oriented)

Texas Pacific Land $TPL (-2,73%) (extremely profitable)

Hess $HES(cooperates with $XOM) (-2,64%)

EOG Resources $EOG (-3,15%) (high ROIC)

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

Hello everyone, I have been investing for 6 months. The question now is whether I should continue to watch and buy individual stocks or invest everything in the world. Many think that the effort to find a good entry point etc. is not worth it. Not worth it in contrast to ETFs which perform similarly.

I would also be happy to receive tips and opinions on the portfolio.

If I continue to invest in individual stocks, the following stocks are worth watching:

$BALN (-0,28%)

$COST (-2,05%)

$DUOL

$TPL (-2,73%)

$TSM (-6,55%)

$WKL (-1,06%)

pretty much following the value strategy...
