LBRT Stock Soars 79% in a Year: Should Investors Wait or Move On?

Liberty Energy (LBRT) surged 79.1% over the past year, outperforming peers and the broader energy sector. While the company's expansion into distributed power generation (targeting 3 GW by 2029) and technology-driven completions business offer growth potential, weakening profitability, rising capital expenditures ($1.5B in 2026), and execution risks in the power business warrant a cautious approach. Zacks rates the stock as a Hold.
