Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $6.4b. 20% off the 52-week high of $32.76. Revenue growing +11%, comfortably above the S&P median. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $32.47 (implying +23% upside).
Moat
Net margin 29% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 20% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 128% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Hedge-book exposure — many commodity producers hedge forward production; if the hedge book is concentrated at prices well below spot, the upside the market expects is already locked away.
Horizon
1-3 yr $32.47 (17-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $40.99 at ~9% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $52.57 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (MGY): score, valuation & FAQ

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (MGY) is a Oil & Gas E&P company that scores 65.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A-) and P/E (B+). On valuation, MGY sits about 48% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -8% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is MGY a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores MGY 65.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by D/E (A-) and P/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does MGY score 65.5 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). MGY earns its highest marks on D/E (A-) and P/E (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is MGY overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $26.36, MGY sits about 48% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -8% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 11.5x× P/E (graded B+). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in MGY?

Hedge-book exposure — many commodity producers hedge forward production; if the hedge book is concentrated at prices well below spot, the upside the market expects is already locked away.
