Prairie Operating selloff a buying opportunity, says Roth Capital

Roth Capital analyst Leo Mariani views the selloff today in shares of Prairie Operating (PROP) after the company restructured its preferred stock as a buying opportunity. Prairie reached an agreement with its series F preferred stockholder, Hudson Bay, to reduce anniversary warrant coverage from 125% to 75% of stated value, lowering potential share issuance from 77M to 34M shares, and it also extended the issuance date for these warrants by 90 days to July 8, 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. In exchange for these concessions, Hudson Bay received a 4M share penny warrant issued immediately, with an additional 3M share penny warrant to be issued only if the anniversary warrants are not issued by July 8, 2026, Roth adds. The firm reduced the company’s’ earnings estimates by up to 27% on the “much higher” share count but views the selloff on the news as surprising. It keeps a Buy rating on Prairie Operating with a $4 price target
