APA Corporation (APA)

HOUSTON, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) today provided supplemental information regarding certain third-quarter 2025 financial and operational results. This information is intended only to provide additional information regarding current estimates management believes will affect results for the third-quarter 2025. It is provided to assist investors, analysts and others in formulating their own estimates and is not intended to be a comprehensive presentation of all factors that will affect third-quarter 2025 results. Actual results and the impact of factors identified here may vary depending on the impact of other factors not identified here and are subject to finalization of the financial reporting process for third-quarter 2025.

APA Corporation has transformed its Alaska project from a high-risk bet into a compelling appraisal opportunity with significant future upside potential. The successful Sockeye-2 well, flowing 2,700 barrels/day without lift, de-risked the play and set the stage for further seismic and appraisal drilling by late 2026. If appraisal drilling confirms repeatability, APA could see 30,000 boe/d gross production by 2030, with breakevens at $45-50 per barrel.

The S&P 500 Index, weighted by market capitalization, currently has a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 25, which is way above its historical average.

Markets carried their momentum into the third quarter of 2025, even as political uncertainty and softer labor data kept investors cautious.

In the latest trading session, APA (APA) closed at $24.34, marking a -1.42% move from the previous day.

I rate APA Corporation a Strong Buy due to its improving financials, significant cost-saving initiatives, and low valuation, backed by industry tailwinds. APA's portfolio rebalancing, debt reduction, and strong cash flow position it for resilience now and upside in an oil market recovery. APA targets net debt reduction to $3 billion, prioritizes shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks, and benefits from Permian and international assets with a great pipeline of growth.

Shares of APA (APA 3.13%) rallied 4.1% on Wednesday as of 1:30 p.m. ET, continuing a second straight day of gains for oil stocks.
