Matador Resources (MTDR), a Dallas-based oil and natural gas company, is highlighted as a momentum stock worth watching.

Matador Resources is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings of $1.64 per share, representing a 20.6% year-over-year increase, though revenues are projected to decline 2.2%. However, the company's Earnings ESP of -13.60% combined with a Zacks Rank #3 makes it difficult to predict an earnings beat, despite a strong history of beating estimates in recent quarters.
