Insights
This research coverage expansion represents a strategic pivot for Texas Capital Securities, targeting high-growth sectors within energy and adjacent markets. The focus on 38 companies across upstream energy, agribusiness and biofuels positions TCBI to capitalize on emerging trends in AI data centers, LNG infrastructure and renewable fuels. However, while this initiative strengthens their service offerings, the direct revenue impact will likely be modest in the near term.
The strategic value lies in TCBI's ability to leverage this research platform to enhance their investment banking relationships and potentially capture more deal flow in these sectors. The timing aligns with significant capital deployment opportunities in energy infrastructure, particularly around AI data center power demands and LNG terminal expansion projects.
For investors, this move indicates TCBI's commitment to deepening their energy sector expertise, which could translate to improved fee-based revenues over time. The focus on small- and mid-cap companies fills a market niche where research coverage is often thinner, potentially creating competitive advantages in client relationships and deal origination.
The coverage initiation strategically targets three transformative sectors in the energy landscape. The focus on upstream players with natural gas exposure is particularly shrewd given the growing demand from AI data centers and LNG export facilities. The 23-stock coverage in upstream energy, including E&P companies and mineral royalty firms, positions TCBI to capture value from both traditional energy operations and the emerging tech-driven demand surge.
The emphasis on energy-adjacent sectors, especially companies involved in water handling and behind-the-meter power generation, demonstrates foresight in identifying critical infrastructure needs for the expanding AI and data center ecosystem. The Delaware Basin water handling fundamentals represent a particularly compelling opportunity given the region's growing importance in energy production.
The inclusion of biofuels and agribusiness coverage, focusing on Renewable Diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel operators, aligns with the evolving regulatory landscape and increasing demand for sustainable fuel alternatives. This diversified approach across traditional and renewable energy sectors positions TCBI well for various energy transition scenarios.
Coverage begins with 38 companies in the U.S. upstream, agribusiness, biofuel and energy adjacent sectors
DALLAS, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Texas Capital Securities, a subsidiary of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBI), today announced it has initiated coverage of 38 companies in the energy and energy-adjacent sectors. The newly formed Equity Research team will enhance the firm’s product and service capabilities, investment insights and dedicated coverage of the energy industry and adjacent sectors, while also providing a platform to further expand its Institutional Services business.
“Today’s coverage initiations continue the strategic expansion of our specialized product offerings to support clients active in the equity markets and focused on transformative opportunities in the energy and adjacent sectors,” said Daniel Hoverman, Head of Corporate & Investment Banking. “Looking forward to 2025, we intend to continue expanding our coverage universe to complement our industry-focused coverage teams, including our leading corporate banking practices in Healthcare, Technology, Media & Telecom, Diversified Industries, and Financial Institutions, and to establish Texas Capital as the ‘first call’ for small- and mid-cap U.S.-listed public companies. We believe our full service platform offers both issuers and equity investors a valuable combination of expertise, advisory services and capital, resulting in a differentiated client experience, market connectivity, investor access and strategic advice. Our decision to launch Equity Research in the Energy sectors stands as testament to our dedication to serving an important sector of the Texas and U.S. economy and the exciting prospects facing the industry thanks to AI-driven data center demand, the expansion of U.S. liquified natural gas infrastructure, and policy-driven growth in biofuels.”
Initial coverage will focus on three core areas:
- Upstream Energy: The sector remains market leading on return of capital metrics and has re-rate potential for companies with meaningful natural gas exposure. Coverage includes 23 stocks, including 17 Exploration and Production (E&P) companies, four Mineral and Royalty companies and two Minerals-like MLPs.
- Energy Adjacent: These sectors are positioned to capitalize on transformative trends such as AI data center power demand growth, the buildout of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and tightening water handling fundamentals in the Delaware Basin. Coverage includes eight stocks, including land management and royalty companies, water handling operators, natural gas contract compression operators, clean energy technology and a behind-the-meter power (BTM) generation provider.
- Agribusiness and Biofuels: These companies are poised to benefit from an evolving U.S. renewable fuel policy landscape. Coverage includes seven stocks, including three vertically integrated Renewable Diesel (RD) - Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) operators, three vertically integrated renewable natural gas (RNG) operators and one global agribusiness and food company.
“Assuming the Trump Administration maintains its ‘all of the above’ energy policy, we believe that policy could accomplish the trifecta of strengthening the domestic economy, providing global energy security and lowering energy emissions,” said Derrick Whitfield, Head of Energy Equity Research. “Perhaps most importantly for investors, the U.S., and the Permian Basin more specifically, has the opportunity to become ground zero for the global AI data center buildout based on its abundant, low-cost natural gas, access to water for cooling, renewable power integration, and ample land to build necessary utilities.”
As Texas Capital continues to grow, the firm remains dedicated to delivering exceptional value to its clients, ensuring they have access to the information and resources necessary to make informed decisions in an ever-evolving market landscape.
