Matador Resources raises 2026 output guidance; Q3 revenue up 51%, GAAP profit slips
Matador Resources reported third quarter 2026 results on November 3, 2026, with oil and natural gas revenue of $1.22 billion, up 51% from a year earlier, while GAAP net income of $172.1 million was slightly below the $176.4 million reported in the third quarter of 2025. The company raised its full-year 2026 production guidance and said it repaid $150 million of debt in October 2026 and increased its annual dividend, which matters to shareholders because the revenue growth and dividend increase come alongside a slight dip in GAAP earnings per share.
