Texas Pacific Land (TPL)
Forward P/E is 33.63x against a peer median of 10.41x, a ratio of 3.23x — more than three times the peer median — with trailing P/E 42.90x and PEG not available (shown as n/a on the statistics page). Latest-quarter revenue grew 31.2% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), below the cluster pace, so the price only makes sense if demand accelerates well beyond what has been delivered. Delivered demand check: the Exploration & production group's median growth was 37.2% year over year — demand rising, but this company is growing more slowly than that pace.
What would change this label: Move to OVERVALUED if the forward P/E compresses to about 20.8x or below (2.00x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, and to FAIRLY PRICED if it falls to about 12.0x or below (1.15x the peer median). Move away from a bubble reading on growth only if revenue growth rises far above the cluster median, above about 50% year over year, for two quarters while the multiple stays high.
Texas Pacific Land owns large areas of West Texas land and collects royalties when oil and gas are produced there. Its shares cost more than three times as much, for each dollar of expected profit, as other oil and gas producers, even though its sales grew more slowly than theirs. That makes the price a bubble — it needs much faster growth than the company has delivered to make sense.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window Texas Pacific Land returned +454.08% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Texas Pacific Land: -52.8% (2022-11-07 to 2023-06-23). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.

Sector demand read: Delivered demand check: the Exploration & production group's median latest-quarter revenue growth was 37.2% year over year (SEC filings) — demand rising.

Sales, profit and cash
This company does not report a gross-profit line in its SEC facts (normal for banks, payment networks and some health insurers), so profit is shown as net income instead — gross margin is marked UNVERIFIED-absent rather than estimated.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 24-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- Gross profit / gross margin: not tagged as a standalone line in this company's EDGAR company facts (common for banks, payment networks and some healthcare payers) — shown as UNVERIFIED-absent; the page charts revenue and net income instead.
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Free cash flow is absent for one or more quarters: either the filer does not separately tag PP&E purchases in its EDGAR cash-flow facts (common for banks), or — for a successor registrant's newest quarter — the cash-flow lines are year-to-date without the prior-quarter rung needed to difference them. Affected quarters are null in the data, never estimated.
- Own-history P/E range not yet compiled for this company in the Phase 1 batch run; the label rests on peer-median, growth and PEG evidence.
- PEG ratio was shown as n/a on the statistics page, so no PEG evidence is available for this company; the label rests on the peer-median P/E, trailing P/E, price-to-sales and growth evidence.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
