LandBridge: The Market Still Has No Idea What This Company Is Becoming

LandBridge Company LLC remains my largest holding and highest-conviction Strong Buy, driven by strategic Permian land ownership and a hyper-efficient, royalty-based business model. Despite sequential revenue and EBITDA declines in 1Q26, LB raised full-year EBITDA guidance to $210–$230M, with 16% year-over-year growth and an 80% free cash flow margin. Surface use royalties surged 41%, now comprising 72% of revenue, while data center and produced water projects like Speedway offer significant embedded growth optionality.
