The company finished the acquisition of Twin Eagle Holdings and repurchased $305 million of common stock in the quarter, bringing year‑to‑date buybacks to about $900 million, or 4% of its shares. It also raised its full‑year capital investment target to roughly $3 billion and expects to run 11‑12 rigs in 2026.

The earnings beat and acquisition signal continued growth, while the expanded share repurchase program returns cash to shareholders and may support the stock price. The higher capital guidance indicates increased spending that could affect cash flow and debt levels.
