Magnolia Oil & Gas (MGY) Doubles Profits While Betting Big On Growth

Magnolia Oil & Gas reported second-quarter results on August 5 that showed significant improvement across profitability and cash generation metrics. Net income reached $181.8 million, representing a 124% increase from the prior-year period of $81 million, while diluted earnings per share rose to $0.97 from $0.41.
