  • Vermilion Energy Shares Rise 5.1% After Dividend Hike Despite 2025 Loss
    March 15, 2026, 6:53 PM EDT. Vermilion Energy (TSX:VET) saw its shares jump 5.1% after raising its quarterly dividend to C$0.135 per share for March 2026 amid a C$653.6 million net loss reported for 2025. The company maintained its 2026 production guidance at 118,000 to 122,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), with a gas-heavy output targeting about 70% natural gas. Despite losses and a heavier gas profile, Vermilion continues share buybacks, signaling strong shareholder returns focus. Key risks include elevated debt and the transition to a gas-weighted portfolio. Analysts' revised 2028 revenue projection stands at C$2.1 billion with modest earnings growth, suggesting a fair value slightly below current prices. Investors must weigh production cost efficiency and regulatory pressures on European gas markets in their assessment.
