Overview

Granite Ridge is a Dallas-based non-operated E&P holding minority working interests across the Permian, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Haynesville and DJ basins, partnering with top operators to diversify across ~1,000+ gross wells with only six employees. The model is capital-light on overhead but capital-intensive on drilling participation, and FY2025 revenue rose ~19% to ~$0.45bn as production climbed toward ~30 mboe/d.

The balance sheet carries the strain of growth: free cash flow has been negative since 2023 as capex outpaced operating cash flow, net debt has grown toward ~$0.4bn, and the ~9% dividend yield reflects both a fixed payout and a depressed share price (~$4.85). Management guides FY2026 production of 34-36 mboe/d and targets a return to free cash flow in 2027, making the deleveraging path and commodity prices the key swing factors.

Reserves & production

Granite Ridge Resources holds approximately 0.06 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 32 thousand boe/d (49% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 5.3 years. Break-even: ~$45 (WTI FCF breakeven) — Non-op capital-efficient model; targets free cash flow generation by 2027 after a heavy 2024-25 outspend to grow production

Net asset value (public-source)

For Granite Ridge Resources, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
