Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The Belly River acquisition expands the liquid-rich core and adds scale, while debt has been managed with a larger revolver and new notes to support a higher capex program. AFFO/FFO growth improves cash flow visibility, which could support multiple expansion if assets perform in line with guidance; near-term catalysts include H2 2026 rig activity and production ramp.
