Insights

Equity Capital Markets Analyst

Gulfport executes a negotiated $10M share repurchase within its $1.5B buyback plan.

Gulfport Energy is repurchasing 45,546 common shares from Silver Point Capital-managed accounts for about $10.0 million, at $219.56 per share. The price reflects a modest 1.0% discount to the last reported NYSE trading price on December 1, 2025, indicating a small, negotiated block transaction rather than an open-market purchase.

The deal falls under the company’s existing $1.5 billion common share repurchase program, so it simply uses a portion of an already approved authorization. The repurchase is expected to close on December 8, 2025, when cash will flow out from the company to the selling holders and the share count will decline by the purchased amount.

Because the size is relatively small compared with the overall program, the move looks like routine capital management rather than a transformative step. Future disclosures about additional repurchases under the same $1.5 billion program will indicate how actively the company continues to return capital through buybacks.
