Sable Offshore Q1 Losses Persist as Production Expands and Refinancing Efforts Continue Sable Offshore reported a Q1 EPS loss of ($1.37), falling short of consensus expectations.
The company is working to refinance its Senior Secured Term Loan, with management targeting completion by Q2 2026.
Production has restarted on parts of the Santa Ynez Pipeline System, with 40 wells currently producing about 750 gross barrels per day per well, and plans to ramp up to 74 wells and bring Platform Hondo online by June 2026.
Sable Offshore was ranked 10th in Grok AI’s top stock picks for 2026, while still facing material risks including California lawsuits, pipeline approval delays, oil price volatility and a sizable debt load.
The key tension here is between Sable’s expanding production footprint, supported by ongoing capital spending, and the weight of its current losses, refinancing needs, and legal and regulatory overhangs.
Anyone following the stock will want to track progress on the term loan refinancing and pipeline approvals closely, since delays or adverse legal outcomes could affect both the timing and economics of the planned production ramp. New Risk • May 07

Sable Offshore Corp. Announces Statement on California Coastal Commission Litigation Sable Offshore Corp. provided an update regarding its ongoing litigation with the California Coastal Commission (“Coastal Commission”). In the Santa Barbara Superior Court’s tentative ruling released on October 14, 2025, the court indicated that it will deny Sable’s claims against the Coastal Commission. Sable vigorously disagrees with the court’s tentative ruling. If adopted after the court’s hearing scheduled on October 15, the ruling would have no impact on the resumption of petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System. Additionally, oil and gas production from the federal Santa Ynez Unit and the flow of petroleum from the Santa Ynez Unit to the Las Flores Canyon processing facilities or to a potential Offshore Storage & Treating Vessel (“OS&T”) would be unaffected by rulings in the Coastal Commission litigation. Sable nevertheless intends to appeal this ruling to the California Court of Appeal if the ruling is adopted by the Santa Barbara Superior Court. Sable is suing the Coastal Commission for the damages it has caused Sable by erroneously issuing cease and desist orders during Sable’s anomaly repair program on the Las Flores Pipeline System. The anomaly repair program and hydrotesting of the Las Flores Pipeline System was completed in May 2025 in accordance with the Federal Consent Decree. Sable intends to continue its pursuit of the writ of mandate in the Court of Appeal as well as declaratory relief and inverse condemnation claims in excess of approximately $347 million. Sable continues to work diligently with the State of California to safely and responsibly resume petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System in accordance with the Federal Consent Decree. Continued delays in approving the Restart Plans for the Las Flores Pipeline System could prompt Sable to pursue the accelerated OS&T strategy, which was utilized to process Santa Ynez Unit production in federal waters from 1981 – 1994. During that time period, the Santa Ynez Unit produced over 160 million barrels of oil equivalent. Regardless of whether California approves the resumption of petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System, Sable plans to pursue the OS&T strategy which Sable believes will allow it to refinance its existing term loan.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 104% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 104% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Aankondiging • Apr 19

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 13% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks.

Sable Offshore Corp. Provides Update on Litigation Status Sable Offshore Corp. provided an update on the previously disclosed Center for Biological Diversity et al. v. Debra Haaland et al. lawsuit (the “Haaland lawsuit”). On December 20, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (in its capacity as counsel for the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, or “BSEE”) filed a motion to remand without vacatur the Haaland lawsuit to BSEE for BSEE to reconsider its 2023 decision approving an extension to resume operations on the leases for the Santa Ynez Unit. Assuming the motion is granted, Sable intends to cooperate with the government to facilitate an expeditious review and that the government’s prior extensions to resume operations were both appropriate and authorized. Moreover, under the government’s proposed remand, Sable’s operations on the Santa Ynez Unit remain unaffected. In the event that any non-governmental third party attempts to unlawfully interfere with Sable from restarting the Santa Ynez Unit, which contains net estimated contingent resources currently valued at over $10 billion, Sable is prepared to vigorously pursue all available legal remedies.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next year. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$332m Forecast net loss in 1 year: US$82m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 67% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Negative equity (-US$26m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (67% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Aankondiging • Feb 08
