Parex Resources ( (TSE:PXT) ) has provided an update.

Parex Resources reported first-quarter 2026 average production of 44,735 barrels of oil equivalent per day, reflecting weather-related downtime and weaker results at its LLA-32 block that pulled February and March volumes below January levels. The company expects output to recover in the second half of the second quarter as it undertakes remediation at LLA-32, scales up Putumayo operations and advances recent near-field exploration at LLA-111, underpinning its full-year 2026 production guidance of 45,000 to 49,000 boe/d.

Parex will publish its first-quarter 2026 financial and operating results and host its annual general and special meeting of shareholders on May 12, 2026, offering both in-person and virtual participation options. In a governance development, Parex has also withdrawn its six director nominees for GeoPark Limited’s 2026 shareholder meeting after GeoPark’s recent share issuance diluted Parex’s ownership stake, signaling a recalibration of its approach to influencing the peer company’s board.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:PXT) stock is a Hold with a C$32.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Parex Resources stock, see the TSE:PXT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PXT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PXT is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (notably very low leverage and solid cash generation) and compelling valuation (low P/E with a high dividend yield). Technicals also support the view with a clear uptrend and positive momentum, while the earnings call was constructive but acknowledged commodity/differential sensitivity and some execution uncertainty around potential M&A.
