BKV Q2 EPS Beats by 64% on Production Gains; Raises Capex Outlook
BKV sits 21% above its 52-week low of $19.56.
Summary
BKV delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EPS of $0.46 crushing the $0.28 consensus. Revenue rose slightly to $465.5M, driven by a 16% jump in power generation at its Temple plants and upstream production above guidance thanks to better drilling and completions. The company also started commercial operations at two new carbon capture projects, adding to its CCUS volumes. Looking ahead, BKV guided Q3 capex to $200M-$285M and full-year capex to $690M-$875M, signaling an acceleration in spending. This follows the Q1 return to profitability and the May amendment to its credit agreement, painting a picture of improving operations and financial flexibility. The beat and raised activity outlook should force analysts to revise estimates higher.
