EP 98 Operational Update: SS-2H ST1 Stimulation Delivers Material Step Change in Beetaloo Completion Efficiency

Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN):
Tamboran Resources Corporation Managing Director and CEO, Joel Riddle, said:
'The SS-2H ST1 stimulation operations were successfully completed across 35 stimulated stages over the 5,483-foot horizontal section in the Mid Velkerri B Shale.
'The increased efficiency from the Liberty stimulation equipment has delivered Beetaloo Basin completion records for average proppant injection intensity and treating rates over 100 bpm.
'The decision was made during the completion activities to optimize the stimulation design by increasing the spacing between stages to ~168 feet, which resulted in improved efficiency.
'We will now focus on completing and cleaning out the SS-2H ST1 well ahead of the commencement of initial flow back and extended production testing.'
1 Planned stimulation design compared to actuals from the SS-1H well, which was completed in 2H 2023.
2 Excludes stimulation of the toe stage of the horizontal section.

Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains 'forward-looking' statements related to the Company within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act') and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words 'believe,' 'expect,' 'anticipate,' 'will,' 'could,' 'would,' 'should,' 'may,' 'plan,' 'estimate,' 'intend,' 'predict,' 'potential,' 'continue,' and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
It is possible that the Company's future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to: our early stage of development with no material revenue expected until 2026 and our limited operating history; the substantial additional capital required for our business plan, which we may be unable to raise on acceptable terms; our strategy to deliver natural gas to the Australian East Coast and select Asian markets being contingent upon constructing additional pipeline capacity, which may not be secured; the absence of proved reserves and the risk that our drilling may not yield natural gas in commercial quantities or quality; the speculative nature of drilling activities, which involve significant costs and may not result in discoveries or additions to our future production or reserves; the challenges associated with importing U.S. practices and technology to the Northern Territory, which could affect our operations and growth due to limited local experience; the critical need for timely access to appropriate equipment and infrastructure, which may impact our market access and business plan execution; the operational complexities and inherent risks of drilling, completions, workover, and hydraulic fracturing operations that could adversely affect our business; the volatility of natural gas prices and its potential adverse effect on our financial condition and operations; the risks of construction delays, cost overruns, and negative effects on our financial and operational performance associated with midstream projects; the potential fundamental impact on our business if our assessments of the Beetaloo are materially inaccurate; the concentration of all our assets and operations in the Beetaloo, making us susceptible to region-specific risks; the substantial doubt raised by our recurring operational losses, negative cash flows, and cumulative net losses about our ability to continue as a going concern; complex laws and regulations that could affect our operational costs and feasibility or lead to significant liabilities; community opposition that could result in costly delays and impede our ability to obtain necessary government approvals; exploration and development activities in the Beetaloo that may lead to legal disputes, operational disruptions, and reputational damage due to native title and heritage issues; the requirement to produce natural gas on a Scope 1 net zero basis upon commencement of commercial production, with internal goals for operational net zero, which may increase our production costs; the increased attention to ESG matters and environmental conservation measures that could adversely impact our business operations; risks related to our corporate structure; risks related to our common stock and CDIs; and the other risk factors discussed in the this report and the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward-looking statements contained in this document.

‘Still Not a Bargain,' Says Top Investor About Nike Stock

'Just Do It,' goes the motto that Nike (NYSE:NKE) made a household catchphrase. With its branded 'Swoosh' and world-famous spokespeople, it is no stretch to argue that Nike helped to build the premium shoe market — one that grew by leaps and bounds earlier this decade. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Indeed, the COVID years saw a major spike in Nike's footwear sales – from $23.3 billion in 2020 to over $35 billion in 2023 – though growth has been slowing of late. Last year saw footwear revenues decrease slightly, and its share price has fallen almost 40% during the past twelve months. This week, Nike will be releasing its FQ4 2025 results, and consensus estimates are not exactly bullish. Analysts are expecting total revenues of $10.7 billion – down 15% year-over-year – while a projected EPS of $0.12 would represent an 89% decrease year-over-year. One top investor known by the pseudonym Stone Fox Capital thinks that the growing competition will continue to present stiff resistance going forward. 'Nike remains overvalued despite a significant price decline, with the market underestimating downside risks and ongoing competitive pressures,' explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. The biggest challenge for Nike going forward will be the growing competition, asserts Stone Fox Capital, citing On Holding and HOKA as two of the biggest threats. For instance, ONON's On Running is expected to grow revenues by 40% this year. Still, NKE is trading 'at multiples above the market,' despite forecasts of stagnating growth going forward. Stone Fox Capital spots quite a disconnect – one that the market has yet to take fully into account. 'Nike should be viewed based on the readily available data of a massive athletic footwear company that hasn't grown in years facing immense competition,' adds Stone Fox Capital. Stone Fox Capital is urging investors to pay attention to upcoming guidance for the next quarter, which the investor predicts will be a 'horrible' forecast. Needless to say, Stone Fox Capital does not believe that 'Just Do It' is good advice for would-be investors at present. 'The stock might be down substantially from the all-time highs a few years ago, but Nike isn't actually trading like the business is under pressure,' concludes Stone Fox Capital, who rates NKE a Sell. (To watch Stone Fox Capital's track record, click here) Wall Street is overall positive when it comes to Nike, though not overwhelmingly. With 12 Buy and 11 Hold ratings, NKE is a consensus Moderate Buy. Its 12-month average price target of $71.24 has an upside of ~19%.

Better Cybersecurity Stock: CrowdStrike or SentinelOne?

CrowdStrike and SentinelOne have similar business models and offerings. CrowdStrike is much larger. SentinelOne trades at a steep discount to CrowdStrike. 10 stocks we like better than CrowdStrike › Artificial intelligence (AI) may have many benefits, but it's also making it easier for hackers, online criminals, and other digital malefactors to threaten businesses, and those threats are getting more potent. Keeping them at bay requires a lot of funds to be devoted to cybersecurity, making companies like CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and SentinelOne (NYSE: S) excellent investment opportunities. But is there an advantage to buying one over the other now? Both companies' base products are AI-powered protection platforms that analyze digital activity and learn to spot the threats among the normal activity. They deploy their software to network endpoints -- in other words, laptops, smartphones, and other devices that can access a client's internal network. By protecting these devices, companies make it harder for cyberattackers to gain access to their internal networks, where they might steal sensitive information, delete files, interfere with systems, or even lock them down with ransomware to extort payments from their victims. While endpoint protection is how both companies land clients, each bolsters its offerings with an array of other cybersecurity products that clients can use to create a protection suite tailored to their unique situations. Since these two direct competitors offer highly similar product types, it's hard to declare either a winner on this front from an investor perspective. Winner: Tie. From a sheer size perspective, CrowdStrike is the clear winner. During its fiscal 2026 first quarter, which ended April 30, CrowdStrike's annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose to $4.4 billion. SentinelOne's ARR of $948 million in its fiscal Q1 was less than a quarter of that. While size doesn't always matter, in this case, it does. Because so many more companies use CrowdStrike's platform, it's more likely that any given IT professional will have at least one contact already on its client list. If CrowdStrike is doing a great job with those clients, word will spread, and it will likely receive more serious consideration in future cybersecurity bidding processes. This advantage cannot be understated. Indeed, it's one of the reasons why CrowdStrike's growth has remained strong despite its size. Winner: CrowdStrike In terms of growth rates, SentinelOne is slightly outperforming CrowdStrike in this category. However, this should be no surprise because SentinelOne is a much smaller company. In fiscal Q1, SentinelOne's ARR rose 24% year over year, while CrowdStrike's increased 22% year over year. While I will give the point to SentinelOne, it's important to understand that CrowdStrike is growing from a much larger base than SentinelOne, making this close call all the more impressive for CrowdStrike. Winner: SentinelOne Due to its smaller size and focus on top-line growth, SentinelOne is far from profitable, while CrowdStrike has achieved intermittent profitability (although it reverted to a negative operating margin and a loss in its most recent quarter). SentinelOne is far from breaking even, but CrowdStrike was in this same position about five years ago. There's no reason not to expect SentinelOne to follow a similar path to profitability, but it will take some time. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike should eventually turn a profit again, as it has proven that it can do that. Winner: CrowdStrike CrowdStrike is leading this battle of the stocks so far, but SentinelOne is about to change the narrative with one jaw-dropping metric. CrowdStrike is the most popular cybersecurity stock in the market, and as a result, it has been bid up to expensive levels. From a price-to-sales (P/S) standpoint (the best metric to use to compare these companies since CrowdStrike flips between profitable and unprofitable, while SentinelOne is years away from profits), CrowdStrike has gotten far more expensive than SentinelOne over the past few years. CrowdStrike stock is now five times more expensive than SentinelOne, which is hard to believe, considering they compete in the same industry and are growing at nearly identical rates. This leads me to believe that CrowdStrike's stock has been overly hyped up while SentinelOne has been forgotten. While I'm OK with valuing CrowdStrike at a premium due to its market leadership position, this is far too great a premium to pay. SentinelOne is a dirt-cheap stock, and CrowdStrike is almost too expensive to consider. While I have been a long-term CrowdStrike bull, I'd be a bit cautious about buying the stock at its current lofty valuation. As a result, I think SentinelOne is the better cybersecurity investment right now. Before you buy stock in CrowdStrike, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and CrowdStrike wasn't one of them.
