The case for and against

Updated Nov 29, 2024

Bull case

Aris Water Solutions Inc. has demonstrated significant growth potential, highlighted by a 21% increase in renewable energy usage in its operations, signaling a commitment to sustainability that can enhance its competitive edge. The company's primary revenue streams are expected to see steady increases in revenues, EBITDA, and earnings due to rising production water volumes from key anchor tenants, which positions Aris favorably in the environmental infrastructure sector. Additionally, the substantial 114% increase in the Measured & Indicated resource at Segovia, alongside the strategic expansion of processing capacity at the Maria Dama plant, underscores the company's robust growth trajectory and operational efficiency.

Bear case

Aris Water Solutions has faced challenges in achieving production expectations, culminating in a downward revision of its 2024 guidance at Segovia, now projected to be between 185koz-195koz instead of the previously estimated range of 200koz-220koz. The company's long-term outlook is further threatened by a potential shortage of disposal locations, which may stifle new well drilling and negatively impact operational performance akin to the effects of declining oil prices. Additionally, the failure of beneficial water reuse efforts to attain commercial viability raises further concerns about the company’s ability to develop economic alternatives for produced water management.
