DALLAS , Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellipsis U.S. Onshore Holdings LLC ("Ellipsis"), a portfolio company of the Westlawn Group ("Westlawn"), is pleased to announce it has completed two transactions that further expand its position in key U.S. onshore basins through the acquisition of non-operated working interests and a large-scale farmout agreement. In the first transaction, Ellipsis has acquired high-quality, non-operated oil and gas assets in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico.

Black Stone cut its distribution by 20% and reduced its 2025 production guidance by 14%. This was largely due to its expectations for natural gas development being delayed into 2026. I now estimate BSM stock's value at $16 per share, reflecting weaker near-term results but longer-term benefits from its acquisition activity.

BSM's Q2 earnings support the reduced distribution, allowing capital allocation to inventory acquisitions while managing production declines from the Aethon 'timeout.' Distribution coverage is expected to dip to 1.05-1.1x in late 2025, but a production rebound in 2026 should restore coverage to 1.25-1.3x. Management's strategy includes diversifying operator agreements and developing new acreage, aiming to offset steep shale decline rates and stabilize future production.

EXPI, EPC and BSM have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List on August 8, 2025.

BSM remains a BUY due to the upcoming Culberson County oil pad, which should boost high-margin oil production and revenue starting in late 2024. Recent natural gas price recovery led to the first production increase in over a year, but declining oil output offset revenue gains. Q1 results were mixed: higher revenue from natural gas, but distribution coverage dipped due to falling oil production and unusual exploration and G&A expenses.
