Preliminary volumes: 49,137 barrels of oil and 931,107 Mcf of gas; preliminary prices: $54.40 per barrel and $2.73 per Mcf.

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Monthly distribution headlines often see modest price reactions, usually aligning with whether payouts and underlying production/prices are improving or weakening, though there has been at least one clear divergence.
Over the last five monthly distribution announcements from Oct 2025 to Feb 2026, Sabine Royalty Trust has reported fluctuating per‑unit payouts driven by changing oil and gas volumes, commodity prices, taxes, and timing items. Negative updates, such as lower distributions tied to weaker production or pricing, generally coincided with unit price declines, while one November 2025 announcement showing reduced payouts but strong prior context saw a positive reaction. Today’s March 2026 release, with a slightly higher $0.286230 distribution versus February’s $0.283370, comes against that backdrop of sensitivity to monthly fundamentals.

Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.
