TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Longhorn Bull Run

Tip of the Iceberg

Texas Pacific Land (TPL) saw its shares spike 14% on Friday, when it was announced that it would be replacing Marathon Oil (MRO) in the S&P 500. However, that wasn’t the start of a bull run, but a continuation of one.

TPL is one of the largest landowners in Texas, and its portfolio includes vast real estate holdings in the oil-rich Permian Basin. That area is also a hub for AI data centers and the energy they require. Following Friday’s rally, the stock is up more than 210% YTD.

Bloomberg analysts believe the current rally is just the tip of the iceberg for this stock.

An AI Partner

Texas Pacific Land’s 873,000 acres in West Texas could prove useful for tech companies like Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN) to power their AI expansion.

Data center demand is expected to grow 170% by 2030. TPL is well-positioned to supply renewable and gas-based energy to these facilities.

For that reason, this oil stock is extremely AI-adjacent and could have a very bright future as the AI revolution rages on.

Big Enough for Two?

TPL isn’t the only player in town — but the town could prove big enough for two.

LandBridge Co (LB) owns 220,000 acres in the Permian Basin. The company’s share price has tripled since its IPO in June, and it has announced plans to increase its land holdings by 20% specifically for digital infrastructure and renewable energy.

Its revenue has grown over 60% over the past three months alone, and Benzinga analysts find its top-line growth potential extremely promising. The stock is up more than 315% YTD.

But some suggest that, like a Western sunrise, it may have nowhere to go but up.
