San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (US7982411057) was last at USD 3.84 on the NYSE on October 1, 2026, within a 52-week range of USD 2.37 to USD 6.61. The trust's liquidity position remains the key company issue after PR Newswire reported the trustee's September 28, 2026 update.

Liquidity reaches a key checkpoint

The trust has a USD 2.0 million credit facility that matures on May 21, 2027. The September 28 release said the outstanding balance was USD 1,075,400 as of September 18, 2026, while discussions with Texas Bank covered an extension, renewal or replacement.

The same release said the trustee plans to resume national newswire distribution with the October 2026 monthly release. That communication step improves the flow of formal updates, but it does not change the trust's exposure to production costs and natural gas prices.

Q2 figures show the operating pressure

The Q2 2026 report covered the three months ended June 30, 2026. According to MetaTrader, royalty income was USD 0, while interest income was USD 184 and the distributable loss was USD 193,957.

The report said royalty income remained at USD 0 compared with the prior year, while general and administrative expenses fell 49.3 percent year over year to USD 198,556. Excess production costs reached USD 9,258,749 gross, or USD 6,944,062 net to the trust, creating the central barrier to future distributions.

Price stays below its yearly midpoint

At USD 3.84, the unit price stood USD 1.17 above the 52-week low and USD 2.77 below the 52-week high on October 1, 2026. The market value was USD 169.2 million on that date, according to the quoted NYSE market data.

The trust owns a 75 percent net overriding royalty interest in oil and gas properties in New Mexico's San Juan Basin. Its passive structure means operating decisions remain with Hilcorp, while distributions depend on net proceeds after production costs and administrative expenses.

SJT stock ends on a cautious note

San Juan Basin Royalty Trust stock was last at USD 3.84 on the NYSE on October 1, 2026. The balance between excess production costs, credit usage and future gas proceeds remains more important than the trust's monthly communication schedule.
