Guidance from management
Management maintained its 2026 guidance, projecting high single-digit EBITDA growth driven by increasing gathering and fresh water delivery volumes. They expect to see gradual EBITDA growth throughout the year.
What management said
Well, we're mainly talking about everything in states, so it wouldn't be that long of a time line, it would just be our typical kind of high-pressure build in kind of year 1, 2, 3, not 5 years out.
Yes, that's off the base business. You get to the high single digit just from integrating the water system in '27. So just servicing ARs from a water perspective gets you at high single digit. If AR actually does pursue the 3 rigs, 2 completions and doesn't build DUCs and actually complete those, you'd be in excess of that high single-digit EBITDA growth in '27 and '28.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the timeline for supporting larger projects and the capital required for full integration of acquired assets. There was also interest in understanding the implications of Antero Resources' growth on Antero Midstream's performance.
