FCF Yield

The current Free Cash Flow (FCF) Yield of 3.4% means that for every $100 of stock price, the company generates $3.40 in free cash flow—cash available after operating and capital expenses.

This yield sits well below the Energy sector median of 5.7%, placing Permian Resources in the 27th percentile among its peers, indicating weaker cash generation relative to stock price. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of 39.3% (from 5.6% to 3.4%) shows a sharp recent drop in this metric. The combination of a below-median level and a steep quarterly downturn suggests elevated risk: the stock offers less cash return than most peers, and the trend signals worsening cash flow efficiency or a rising share price that has outpaced cash generation. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a low and rapidly falling FCF Yield is a negative signal that would typically push a rating toward bearish, not neutral. However, the neutral verdict may account for other offsetting factors not reflected here.
