One gathers Goodlander Investment Management, a firm not entirely averse to a profitable venture, has taken a rather substantial liking to Liberty Energy. A cool $36 million, or thereabouts, was deployed in acquiring 1,950,000 shares. One assumes they haven’t simply misplaced the funds. It happened on February 17th, naturally. Dates are so dreadfully important, aren’t they?
A Spot of Investment, You See
Goodlander, in a filing that I daresay caused minimal disruption to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s day, revealed this new position. A tidy $35,997,000, to be precise. One trusts their accountants are having a lovely time reconciling that figure.
Rather More Detail, If You Insist
- This represents a rather significant 13.75% of Goodlander’s $261.83 million in reportable U.S. equity assets. One pictures the portfolio manager having a minor disagreement with colleagues about the wisdom of it all.
- Their top holdings, as of late, are as follows:
- NYSE:SEI: $44.13 million (16.9% of AUM)
- NYSE:MTZ: $36.95 million (14.1% of AUM)
- NYSE:EME: $36.71 million (14.0% of AUM)
- NYSE:LBRT: $36.00 million (13.8% of AUM)
- NYSE:GEV: $29.41 million (11.2% of AUM)
- As of Tuesday, Liberty Energy shares were playing a spirited game with the market, reaching $28.32. A rather impressive 96% climb over the past year. One suspects the S&P 500 is feeling a trifle envious, with its mere 21% gain.
A Brief Overview, For the Uninitiated
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Price (as of Tuesday) | $28.32 |
| Market capitalization | $4.6 billion |
| Revenue (TTM) | $4.01 billion |
| Net income (TTM) | $147.87 million |
The Business, Briefly Explained
- Liberty Energy, it seems, provides hydraulic fracturing and related services to those involved in the rather messy business of oil and gas exploration in North America.
- They serve onshore producers, with a strong presence in those delightfully named shale basins – the Permian, Eagle Ford, and so on. One imagines a great deal of mud.
They leverage an “integrated business model” and “strategic basin footprint.” One assumes this is all frightfully efficient, and certainly sounds impressive. A competitive advantage, they claim. Naturally.
What Does It All Mean?
Liberty Energy shares have been on a bit of a tear, haven’t they? Goodlander’s bet, timed rather well, has likely paid off handsomely. The stock has climbed approximately 50% since the end of last quarter. One wonders if they had inside information, but one wouldn’t dream of suggesting such a thing.
The firm generated roughly $4 billion in revenue in 2025, with $148 million in net income and $634 million in adjusted EBITDA. Rather a lot of zeros, don’t you think? Fourth-quarter revenue alone reached about $1 billion, reflecting stable demand. One assumes the oil barons are quite pleased.
And, rather cleverly, they’re expanding beyond traditional oilfield services. Their “Liberty Power Innovations” platform is venturing into distributed power solutions and data centers. A longer runway, they say. One suspects they’re anticipating the inevitable decline of oil, and are preparing accordingly. Sensible, really.
