Analysis · VIST · Energy & Transportation
Vista's nine-month revenue nearly doubled to US$3.39B from US$1.76B, and net profit rose to US$739M from US$633M, as the May 2026 Bandurria Sur/Bajo del Toro acquisition and higher crude exports scaled the business. The caveat is the third quarter: net profit slipped to US$298M from US$315M a year earlier, and a US$134M loss on commodity hedges plus a US$16M contingent-consideration remeasurement weighed on the period. Cash generation was the standout, with operating cash flow of US$1.86B funding US$1.29B of capex and the US$666M net cash paid for the acquisition, leaving US$785M of cash and short-term investments against US$3.64B of borrowings.
