Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 39% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 4, 2025
Aris is mainly a deal trade. The company agreed to be bought by Western Midstream for $25 in cash or units, so the stock tends to drift toward that price from today's level. Lately there has been more buying than usual, which helps steady the price. A shareholder law review adds uncertainty that could change the terms. Over the next three months, modest gains are likely if the deal stays on track, but stay alert to updates that could quickly move the price.
Primary drivers
- Sale to Western Midstream sets a near-term price guide around $25.
- Price was weak, but buying interest now looks stronger than before.
- If the deal advances, the gap between the stock and $25 may shrink.
- Shareholder legal review could alter timing or terms, adding risk.
