The company declared a combined base and variable dividend of US$0.67 per Class A share and completed a multi-year share repurchase program totaling 22,371,314 shares. The increased guidance and shareholder returns reinforce the company’s emphasis on cash payouts backed by higher volumes, though concentration risk in the Permian Basin remains a key consideration.
