Winston Score History

The full picture

Matador Resources is an American oil and natural gas company that finds and pulls fossil fuels out of the ground. It focuses mainly on the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, one of the most productive oil regions in the United States. The company sells crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to energy traders, refiners, and pipeline operators.

Matador makes money by selling the oil and gas it produces, so its revenue rises and falls with commodity prices. It also has a midstream business, which means it owns some of the pipelines and processing facilities that move and prepare the fuel it extracts — this adds a steadier income stream alongside the more volatile drilling side. The company's main growth driver is expanding its drilling activity in the Permian Basin, but its biggest risk is a sharp drop in oil or natural gas prices, which would directly cut into profits and could slow future investment.
