The company sees fourth-quarter production of 131.0–132.0 MBoe per day, which is near the upper range of its annual production guidance.
The company&#8217;s elective Ground Game and leasehold acquisitions in the quarter totaled $27 million.
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter, excluding non-budgeted transactions, are projected at $231 million – $232 million.
Nick O&#8217;Grady, NOG&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;Our platform delivered over 25% production growth in 2024 despite an unusual confluence of events that dampened production in the fourth quarter and heading into 2025. Despite these events, we are optimistic about our positioning for the future.&#8221;
Outlook: For 2025, Northern Oil and Gas expects production of 130.0–135.0 MBoe per day and a capital budget of $1.05 billion – $1.20 billion to support increased activity <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">aimed at driving growth in 2026</a>.

Natural gas completions are anticipated to reach 8.0–10.0 net wells, marking a substantial rise from 2024, with most of these completions scheduled for the second half of 2025.
Adam Dirlam, NOG&#8217;s President, said, &#8220;In the fourth quarter, NOG took advantage of the seasonal weakness in the A&amp;D market. We signed our joint development agreement in Appalachia, had our busiest quarter of the year with our Ground Game, and in February signed another Midland Basin joint venture.&#8221;
&#8221;We continue to see a multitude of opportunities across our respective basins as we head into 2025 and are encouraged with the prospects ahead of us.&#8221;
Last month, the Board of Directors declared a first-quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.45 per share, reflecting a 12.5% increase year over year and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43287479/nog-declares-0-45-quarterly-cash-dividend-12-5-increase-year-over-year-provides-update-on-share-re" rel="noreferrer noopener">a 7% rise from the previous quarter</a>.

<h2>Delving into Lithia Motors's Background</h2>
Lithia Motors is a retailer of new and used vehicles and related services. The company offers over 50 brands of vehicles at nearly 500 stores globally across the US, Canada, and UK. The company has expanded largely through the acquisition of dealerships in smaller regional markets but now seeks to grow in any part of the US and we expect more deals over time in the US and, at times, abroad. Annual revenue in 2023 was $31 billion and we see over $50 billion possible in a few years. The US was 90% of 2023 revenue and the UK second at 6%, the latter should rise to around 20% with the 2024 Pendragon acquisition. In 2023, new-car sales were about 49% of total revenue. Lithia was founded in 1946, went public in 1996, and is the largest US auto dealer. It is based in Medford, Oregon.

Breaking Down Tenet Healthcare: 8 Analysts Share Their Views

Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has been facing serious challenges in China for years, and one of the biggest warning signs came back in 2022 when the Chinese government started banning Tesla cars from certain areas over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39805672/will-tesla-robotaxis-be-allowed-in-china-analyst-says-highly-unlikely-investors-sho">national security concerns</a>.
As Fortune reported at the time, China prohibited Tesla vehicles from entering the Beidaihe district for two months while the Communist Party held its annual summer retreat. No official reason was given beyond &#8220;national affairs,&#8221; but it followed other Tesla restrictions, including a ban near military complexes and a similar prohibition in Chengdu during President Xi Jinping&#8217;s visit.

</ul>
Reuters also reported that some government-run businesses told their employees not to drive Teslas for the same reason. Tesla denied spying, and Elon Musk even threatened to shut the business down if it did. To resolve the issue, Tesla guaranteed that all data from cars in China will be held on local servers.
This was a big change from how China used to treat Tesla. In 2019, China made a special deal that allowed Tesla to build its Shanghai factory without teaming up with a Chinese company, which is usually required for foreign carmakers. The factory became Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41303692/teslas-giga-shanghai-hits-3-million-production-milestone-celebrates-with-red-model-rollout">most productive plant worldwide</a> and helped the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43519412/teslas-first-megafactory-outside-us-to-start-production-on-feb-11-report">company grow fast in China</a>.
Things are changing now, though. Early in 2025, Tesla&#8217;s January sales in China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43556649/tesla-drops-1-5-premarket-after-sales-of-china-made-evs-in-january-drop-11-5-yoy">fell by 11.5%</a>. Although factory upgrades and the Lunar New Year are partially to blame for the drop, local brands like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/10/41150200/september-brings-new-records-for-chinese-ev-makers">BYD and NIO (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) are quickly catching up</a>.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Sales in Germany <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43534797/tesla-sales-drop-60-in-germany-are-elon-musks-politics-getting-in-the-way-of-ev-growth">fell by 60%</a> in January, France saw a 63% drop, and in the UK, Tesla sales went down by 8% even though electric car sales overall went up. In California, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43447273/tesla-sales-drop-12-in-california-is-elon-musks-support-for-donald-trump-hurting-ev-sales">sales dropped by 11.6%</a> last year, even though people are still buying electric cars at the same rate. Compared with 2023, the state saw 30,000 fewer Model 3 registrations. Although it performed better, the Model Y still lost almost 4,000 units.
One possible factor in Tesla's struggles? Musk's political involvement. His controversial actions, including his alleged illegal <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43578729/court-halts-musks-doge-squad-from-gaining-access-to-treasury-payment-systems-a-risk-of-irreparable-harm">interference with the U.S. Treasury Department</a>, have drawn backlash. In Germany and the UK, Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43218481/elon-musks-shocking-remarks-to-far-right-german-party-too-much-focus-on-past-guilt">support for far-right political movements</a> has reportedly turned off many potential buyers.&nbsp;
According to the EV Politics Project, Tesla is losing support among its traditional base—urban, progressive-to-centrist EV buyers—faster than it is gaining new conservative supporters, who are generally less interested in EVs.

<h3>How Does Southwest Airlines P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 12.76 in the Passenger Airlines industry, Southwest Airlines Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 39.32.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
