Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Mesa Royalty Trust trades at $2.44, which is 20% above the $1.95 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 59 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 12.6 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.

Common questions
Is Mesa Royalty Trust (MTR) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $1.95, MTR at $2.44 is 20% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own MTR?
1 of the institutions we track reported a position in MTR in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is MTR's P/E ratio?
MTR trades at 12.6 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Mesa Royalty Trust (MTR) pay a dividend?
Yes. Mesa Royalty Trust yields 8.54% at the current share price. It has paid $0.025 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 15 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
