Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on July 26, 2026 — -7.8% at the close.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 31% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published April 27, 2026
Range Resources stands out because recent quarterly results showed record performance, better selling prices and healthy profits, giving the company a clearer, company-specific reason to move higher than many peers. Valuation looks reasonable for a commodity producer. However, weak price momentum, light trading volume and some debt mean confidence is cautious heading into the next quarter.
Primary drivers
- Quarterly results hit record levels and pricing improved
- Share price looks reasonable versus recent profit momentum
- Company execution is stronger than the broader energy group
- Exposure to commodity swings and debt keeps conviction limited
How it played out
RRC: the 12% thesis did not play out
Lyra published RRC at $42.27 with 12% expected growth and a $47.22 target. The thesis pointed to record quarterly results, improved pricing, healthy profits, reasonable valuation, and stronger company execution than the broader energy group. Weak price momentum, light volume, commodity exposure, and debt limited conviction.
RRC peaked at $43.82 on April 27, a 3.7% gain. It never reached the $47.22 target. By July 26, the price had fallen to $38.97, below the publication price and the entry zone. The thesis did not play out within the window.
What happened during the window
On May 29, Range declared a $0.10 quarterly dividend. On July 21, the company reported second-quarter operating cash flow of $235 million and $78 million in share repurchases.
