GeoPark ( (GPRK) ) has issued an announcement.

On January 29, 2026, GeoPark announced a definitive agreement to acquire Frontera Energy’s Colombian exploration and production assets, housed in Frontera Petroleum International Holdings B.V., for an upfront cash payment of US$375 million plus a US$25 million contingent payment tied to development milestones. The deal, which excludes Frontera’s Canadian holding company, infrastructure and Guyana interests, is set to roughly double GeoPark’s production and 1P/2P reserves, position it as the largest private operator in Colombia, and create a larger independent E&P platform spanning Colombia and Argentina with enhanced scale, more durable cash flows and greater capacity to fund its Vaca Muerta development. GeoPark expects pro forma production to surpass 90,000 boepd and EBITDA to reach about US$950 million by 2028, with lower cash breakevens, attractive entry valuation metrics versus its own trading multiples, and accretion to per-share NAV and cash flow, while targeting a disciplined balance sheet with net leverage around 2.0x at closing and a clear path to deleveraging over the subsequent years, outcomes that could strengthen its credit profile and benefit shareholders, bondholders and host regions through higher investment, jobs, royalties and taxes.

The most recent analyst rating on (GPRK) stock is a Hold with a $8.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GeoPark stock, see the GPRK Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GPRK Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GPRK is a Neutral.

GeoPark’s overall stock score is driven by strong technical indicators and positive earnings call sentiment. While financial performance shows some challenges, particularly with high leverage and declining free cash flow growth, the company’s strategic initiatives and operational efficiencies provide a positive outlook. The valuation is reasonable, but the dividend suspension could affect investor sentiment.
