The outlook for the oil and gas exploration and production sub-industry is mostly favorable for the foreseeable future. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a major oil shock occurred in 2020. Since then, crude oil prices have begun to recover, currently priced at around $60 per barrel as a result of persistent supply cuts by the OPEC-Plus Consortium. While the demand perspective remains uncertain, from a supply perspective, both OPEC and non-OPEC participants have a conservative production outlook in 2021. The most significant unknown factor is the potential lifting of Iran sanctions by the Biden administration and its impact. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), oil demand is expected to increase by about 5.4 mmb/d, to 96.4 mmb/d in 2021. While this appears to be a strong year-over-year increase, it is well in line with the 2019 demand of around 100 mmb/d, signifying only a 60% recovery from the pandemic. In May 2021, the EIA forecasted WTI crude oil prices as $59 dollars per barrel in 2021 and $57 per barrel in 2022. At these price points, exploration and production operations are expected to generate significant free cashflow.

Vitesse Energy Inc Stock Growth Grade
Growth Grade:
| Metric | Metric Score | VTS | Sector Median |
| Sales Growth 5yr Ann’l | 0 | 0.0% | 8.5% |
| Sales Increases YoY Last 5 yrs | 0 | 0 of 5 | 3 of 5 |
| Cash from Operations Ann’l Positive Last 5 yrs | 49 | 3 of 5 | 5 of 5 |
The foundation of growth investing is seeking out stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth that is expected to continue into the future.
In order to compute the Growth Score and assign it a letter grade, the percentile ranks for each of the three individual components‐consistency of annual sales growth, five‐year sales growth rankings adjusted for extreme levels, and consistency of positive annual cash from operations‐must be determined. These three rank figures are added together, and the sum is ranked against the entire stock universe to arrive at a company’s Growth Score to create an equal distribution of grades.
The companies in the bottom 20% of the stock universe receive Growth Grades of F, considered Very Weak, while those in the top 20% receive A grades, which are considered Very Strong.
Vitesse Energy Inc has a Growth Score of 31, which is Weak.

Other Vitesse Energy Inc Stock Grades
In addition to Growth, A+ Investor also provides grades for Value, Momentum, Estimate Revisions and Quality.
Invest with Confidence with A+ Investor
AAII’s expansive and robust screening tools like A+ Investor help investors make confident decisions.
The Momentum Grade helps uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming.
The Earnings Estimate Revisions Grade takes into account the magnitude of a company’s earnings surprise in its last two reported fiscal quarters. Often, surprises beget further surprises‐or at least continued sales growth (the exact opposite is generally true, too). AAII’s stock screen that follows the companies with the highest earnings estimate revisions (i.e., the best grades) has a 23.3% backtested annual return since inception, whereas an example screen following those with the worst revisions has a backtested annual return since inception of under 5%.
Successful stock investing involves buying low and selling high, so stock valuation is an important consideration for stock selection. Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.
AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the ranking of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the composite return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F—Score.
These 4 key factors, when combined with the above, provide a holistic view into a stock. Further, by joining A+ Investor you can see whether Vitesse Energy Inc’s stock passes any of our 60+ stock screens that have outperformed the market since their creation.
