Paramount Resources Sees Extended Willesden Green Output and Lower Capex as Price Target Rises Paramount Resources reported first quarter 2026 results, highlighting the earlier-than-expected start-up of the second phase of the Alhambra Plant.
The company increased its 2026 production guidance and reduced capital expenditure guidance for 2026 and 2027, citing strong well deliverability and capital efficiencies.
Willesden Green is now expected to sustain plateau production of about 70,000 Boe/d for over 20 years, around 40% above prior estimates, and National Bank Financial kept a sector-perform rating while lifting its price target to C$38.
A longer production plateau at Willesden Green, paired with lower planned capex, points to a shift in the profile of future cash needs versus expected output. This can change how you think about the company’s capital intensity over time.
The higher price target alongside a sector-perform rating underlines that, while the brokerage acknowledges the updated outlook, it still views the stock in line with the broader sector. You may want to weigh these operational changes against your view of commodity prices and sector risk. Declared Dividend • May 07

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$0 This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 67% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (61% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$0 sold).

Dividend of CA$0.05 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CA$0.05. Ex-date: 15th July 2025 Payment date: 31st July 2025 Dividend yield will be 75%, which is higher than the industry average of 5.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (15% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 26% per year over the past 4 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 96% over the next 3 years. Since a fall of 84% would increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, the dividend may be at risk. New Risk • Jun 18
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$1.0m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 64% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (62% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$1.0m sold).

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 Canadian 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 20% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 7x cash flows per share). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 21% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 21% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 7x cash flows per share). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (20% net profit margin).
