Description: HPK Highpeak Energy Acquisition January 18, 2026

HighPeak Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: HPK) is an independent upstream firm focused on exploring, developing, and producing crude oil, natural gas, and natural-gas liquids in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Founded in 2019 and based in Fort Worth, Texas, the company trades as a common stock in the U.S. oil-and-gas E&P sub-industry.

Key operational metrics that typically drive valuation in this segment include daily barrel-per-day (bpd) oil output (HPK reported ≈ 5,000 bpd in Q4 2023), the company’s all-in cash net-back per barrel (estimated ≈ $12 – $14 per barrel at current price levels), and its capital efficiency measured by dollars of capital expenditure per barrel of production (≈ $8 k/boe). The Permian’s high-density drilling footprint and ongoing infrastructure upgrades keep breakeven costs low (often < $30 per barrel), while macro drivers such as WTI crude price trends, OPEC + output policy, and U.S. macro-economic growth remain the primary determinants of HPK’s cash flow outlook.

For a deeper, data-driven view of HPK’s valuation dynamics, you might find ValueRay’s analytical dashboards worth a quick look.
