Recently, the company entered an agreement to acquire certain assets in the D-J Basin from Bayswater Exploration and Production.

This acquisition is expected to expand the company’s resource base and potential production capacity. This acquisition enhances Prairie’s existing acreage, expands its resource base, and increases its production potential. Additionally, the acquisition aligns with the company’s low-cost operating strategy, with breakeven costs as low as $43.80 per barrel in Weld County. The company’s expansion in the D-J Basin, coupled with the favorable commodity price environment, has been significant revenue drivers.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +83.1%. Revenues are expected to be $12.02 million, up 1,220.9% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Prairie Operating Co., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has seen one downward revision over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
