Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE:FLOC) announced on February 2 that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the parent company of Valiant Artificial Lift, significantly expanding the company’s artificial lift capabilities and enabling it to support clients with a wider range of lift technologies over the full life cycle of a well. The $200 million deal, structured as $170 million in cash and $30 million in Flowco Class A common stock, is expected to close in March this year, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO of Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE:FLOC), stated:
“We are pleased to add Valiant’s strong team and complementary ESP offering to Flowco’s portfolio. Valiant has established itself as a leading independent ESP provider in the Permian through a service-oriented culture that aligns well with our own, supported by proven technology and deep relationships with high-quality operators. By combining Valiant’s ESP capabilities with our existing artificial lift portfolio, we expand our ability to support customers earlier in the well’s producing life and maintain ongoing involvement as operating conditions evolve, creating additional touchpoints over the life of the well. We see meaningful opportunities to leverage our combined footprint and customer relationships to cross-sell these complementary technologies across both customer bases—supporting continued growth in the Permian, other U.S. basins, and select international markets. This transaction represents another step forward in our strategy to deliver the right solution in each well, every time.”
Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE:FLOC) also received a boost on January 30 when the company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share to all shareholders of record as of February 13, payable on February 25, 2026.
