Peer group, and who names Amplify Energy as a peer
Companies that benchmark against AMPY
6 companies name AMPY as a compensation peer
- Berry Corp (bry)BRYFY2024
- Diversified Energy CoDECFY2025
- EVOLUTION PETROLEUM CORPEPMFY2026
- Intrepid Potash, Inc.IPIFY2025
- Riley Exploration Permian, Inc.REPXFY2025
- RING ENERGY, INC.REIFY2025
- W&T OFFSHORE INCWTIFY2025
Each company listed discloses AMPY in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named AMPY in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
