Ring Energy posts Q3 loss, beats revenue and EPS estimates, and raises 2027 production guidance

Ring Energy reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $102.3 million, down about 2% sequentially, and a net loss of $16.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings were $0.10 per share, beating consensus by $0.03‑$0.04. The company sold $30.5 million of non‑core assets, used $10 million to cut revolving‑credit borrowings to $350 million and acquired 16.5 k net acres for $18.8 million. It updated its outlook, guiding Q4 oil production of 12,900‑13,500 Bopd and projecting 2027 total sales of 21,000‑23,000 BOE per day backed by a $135‑$165 million capital plan.

The company said it expects adjusted free cash flow to turn positive in the fourth quarter, which should support its leverage target of 1.5 times and fund the 2027 growth plan. Analysts note the beat and higher guidance could lift the stock’s near‑term valuation.
