EOG.V ECAOF (TSXV oil/gas) reports financials, both tickers tanked >20% from huge sell orders put in at the same time. My thinking is an institution pulled out, no other way to describe the identical volumes. Financials have some bullish potential for 2022 (i.e. Orindiuk), time to load up the dip?

I like energy in general: - Cheap - Good return on capital - Traditionally a hedge to the tech sector My favorite picks are: $EOG, $EPD, $PBR
Looking to hedge into oil from the ongoing conflict with Iran. My time horizon into these plays are 6-12 months, will hold longer if conditions don’t decompress. Oil prices will stay elevated because they lag and I want an opinion of hedging my portofolio on these 5 companies at each weighting: OXY 20% EOG 20% SM 25% EQNQ 25% MUR 15% Primarily a 60/40 split into WTI (OXY, EOG, SM) and Brent (EQNQ, MUR) I used Perplexity for research and have a grasp into what these companies actually do Would greatly take any advice into how I could adjust my oil thesis hedge plan (lol don’t know what to call this) Fyi: this is not my whole portfolio but just a specific dollar amount I want to split the money into
I just bought EOG that means 🌮soon!
Aren't US oil giants like XOM. CVX, EOG, COP, OXY all going to massively benefit from this over the next 6 months? Is it expected their stocks will surge with the downturn in Gulf supply?
Any companies that have a majority of their gas in North America to start. A few Canadian oil sands, American Shale, and any Texas oil companies. DVN, CNQ, EOG, FANG, and SU.
I'll be honest, I had the exact opposite experience. I thought I couldn't beat the market so I kept investing only a small fraction of my portfolio in ETFs maybe 5% but my annual returns were about 50% over 15 years. And then I moved wall street adjacent and started talking to buyside traders and I realized they didn't know shit and they weren't smarter than me. In fact several of them directly told me I was the smartest person they had ever met. Since then I went 90% stocks and my annual performance has been 70%. I only make about 10 trades a year, and it's an ironclad rule I never take STCG. I've only traded on margin twice, oil stocks (COP and EOG) when they hit rock bottom in pandemic, and META when it hit rock bottom because for some reason most of the market believed that their failure in the metaverse was meaningful to their ad business. These days I've reduced stock exposure for the even riskier world of venture capital. I also have been substantially reducing my exposure to tech because while I believe AI is revolutionary, people are assuming too short timescales and most AI companies will fail. I think whem Allbirds went up 600% from rebranding themselves as an AI company is a very visible shark jumping. These are people who couldn't make money selling shoes even when their product was very popular.
Same. Got some EOG Friday at 126. We'll see how that works out today. Flat so far...
I hope bro sold at the open this morning lol. I sold my EOG shares and USO shares and calls since I was up bigly and didn’t want something irrational to wipe out my gains. Glad I sold.
For pure gas plays I tend to invest in quality leaders like EQT. They are not cheap tho unfortunately. If you want an underdog have a look at Harbour Energy Plc, great gas assets in NorthSea and super low lifting costs in the british/norwegian coast shelf. They recently acquired longlife oil assets from LLOG in the Gulf of Mexico so they have assets in multiple markets opening arbitrage options. FCF will be insane. Coterra is a nice mixed play in my opinion. They will merge with Devon and have a decent amount of gas in their future portfolio. Long term LNG deals with UK linked to TTF pricing. Personally i hold CVX, DVN, EOG and OXY.
Hey I work there. EOG stands for Enron Oil and Gas.
Good breakdown. EOG is one of the few names where the low breakeven actually means something and is not just marketing. That said I think people sometimes oversimplify the “$50 breakeven” point. It usually covers sustaining capex and dividends, but it does not mean they will keep production flat or growing at that level. There is still a difference between surviving and actually generating strong returns. The domestic angle is interesting too. It definitely helps with geopolitical risk, but they are still tied to global pricing. If Brent spikes they benefit, but if things normalize quickly that upside can disappear just as fast. Still hard to ignore how much cash these companies can generate in high price environments. The bigger question is always what they do with it this cycle compared to the last one. I have been trying to follow a few of these oil names side by side recently and it is kind of surprising how different the numbers look once you compare multiple companies instead of just focusing on one setup.
American and Canadian oil producers, the companies directly pulling energy from the ground. While the rest of the market burns down, these companies will be printing money. EOG Resources, SM Energy, Diamondback Energy, Devon Energy, Exxon Mobil, Conoco Phillips.
I bought last week sept $52.5 calls in DVN and sept $160 calls in EOG! It feels GREAT making money while others are losing. Look at how these oil stocks ran during oil price spike due to Russia invasion of Ukraine. They move slow but up!
Exxon would actually be far from my top choice if I was betting on war in Iran. A lot of their Middle East production has been shut down just like everyone else's. It would be much better to invest in an oil company with less exposure to the Middle East. PBR, FANG, DVN and EOG all come to mind. I haven't checked, but I'll bet they're all outperforming Exxon since traffic through Hormuz shut down.
Early is the same as wrong. I loaded up on DVN, EOG, PR, and COP right after Israel started flattening Gaza in 2023. Watched them do fuck all while the AI trade went to Pluto and dumped them last year. I belong here.
You're right, I should have done tldr. Basically yes, the U.S. and Canadian oil producers. I mentioned four in my post, EOG, SM, FANG, DVN, but the really big players will be worthwhile too, XOM, COP. We saw this in the 1970s. Even as the rest of the market goes to hell, these guys will be raining money.
Exxon and Chevron are already valued for perfection. If oil rises by $20, they make more money, but their valuation multiple won't expand (it might even contract). Conversely, if SM Energy proves it can generate sustainable cash flow at $100 a barrel, the market will value it not at 2x, but at 4x or 5x. It's this "multiple expansion" that doubles or triples a stock's value, something a giant cannot mathematically achieve. The Leverage Effect of Debt (Value Transfer): Enterprise Value (EV) equals Debt + Market Capitalization (Equity). For a small, indebted producer like SM Energy, every dollar of excess Free Cash Flow generated by oil at $100 is used to repay debt. At constant Enterprise Value, every time a dollar of debt disappears, it is mathematically transferred to the market capitalization. This is a massive financial leverage effect that giants like EOG or Exxon (which have almost no net debt) do not have. The Hedges' "Roll-Over": They will create new contracts at higher prices. It's what is called "rolling up the curve." If the price war keeps WTI at $100 throughout 2026, in the third and fourth quarters, SM Energy will have to hedge its production for 2027 and 2028. But they will no longer hedge it at $65 or $70! They will hedge it at the prices dictated by the crisis (for example, $85 or $90).
1. The Valuation Gap (Multiple Compression) Exxon and Chevron are already valued for perfection. If oil rises by $20, they make more money, but their valuation multiple won't expand (it might even contract). Conversely, if SM Energy proves it can generate sustainable cash flow at $100 a barrel, the market will value it not at 2x, but at 4x or 5x. It's this "multiple expansion" that doubles or triples a stock's value, something a giant cannot mathematically achieve. 2.

At constant Enterprise Value, every time a dollar of debt disappears, it is mathematically transferred into the market capitalization. This is a massive financial leverage effect that giants like EOG or Exxon (which have almost no net debt) do not have.
EOG but im out if it hits 1.25 in at 1.07
USO and UCO don’t own oil. They own futures contracts that they roll every month. In contango (next month’s contract costs more than this month’s), every roll is a guaranteed loss — sell low, buy high, repeat. That roll cost runs 2-3% per month, compounding to 20-30% annual drag. This is how USO returned only 15% over three years despite multiple oil spikes. UCO is 2x worse because it doubles the roll cost AND adds volatility decay from daily rebalancing. In a choppy market, which a war-driven oil market absolutely is, a 2x leveraged product can lose money even when the underlying goes up. Day 1: oil +5%, UCO +10%. Day 2: oil -5%, UCO -10%. Net: oil -0.25%, UCO -1.0%. That asymmetry compounds relentlessly. If you want to express a bullish oil view without contango eating you alive, look at equity proxies: XLE, XOP for broad energy, or individual E&Ps like EOG, AR, EQT that own physical reserves and benefit from higher realized prices without the roll bleed. Or if you want the short side of the oil shock, play the countries that can’t survive $100 oil INDA (India) imports 90% of its crude, half through Hormuz, and is at its 52-week low with record capital outflows. The worst thing you can do is buy UCO thinking you’re “leveraged long oil” and hold it for months. That’s not a position — it’s a donation to the futures curve. I learned the hard way playing with MSTU and UVXY until I did the math, they always went down harder and bounced back weaker so not really 2x
america being energy independent doesn't mean prices stay low domestically. oil is priced globally so if hormuz closes and supply gets squeezed, WTI goes up too even though the oil is coming from texas. american producers benefit because their production costs stay the same but they sell at the higher global price. the ones with the most upside are the producers with low breakeven costs like PXD and EOG. pipelines and midstream like ET and EPD are safer plays since they get paid regardless of price. i'd be careful going too heavy though because the moment there's a ceasefire or diplomatic progress oil drops fast and you're holding the bag
Must be an EOG hand. Only someone in that cult would call them the “gold standard” lol
I’m well integrated in the oil & gas industry (upper field management for one of SM Energy’s competitors in South Texas) & just wanted to add that SM Energy is held in very high regard to neighboring operators STX Oilfield is a tight knit community & slander towards competition is extremely common but SM Energy is one of the few companies that I hear nothing but good things about Another oilfield play I’d recommend looking into would be EOG Resources, they are the literal gold standard out here & are definitely worth glancing over Good post OP!
I told y’all about DNN. Here’s another one: EOG
Are my EOG 150s gonna be itm or am i psycho
Genuine question are my EOG calls gonna print
crude prices are down about -2.5% over the past year, not exactly runaway pricing. While a few companies like CVX trade at 28x, most trade more cheaply, like XOM 22x, COP 17.8x, EOG13.6x, PSX 14.3x. Also the integrateds are better balanced, benifitting in their downstream operations from lower prices. And if Orville knew how aweful the airline business would become, he would have shot Wilbur out of the air on his first flight.
Are we striking Iran this weekend or are my EOG calls cooked?
Are my SLV and EOG calls printing or nah (also spy 700 lotto for friday)
Is Iran full war priced into oil?? My EOG and USO calls are so excited
EOG 5 day next week or im fucked
EOG (enron oil and gas), as well as Arthur anderson now anderson still both exist EOG was spun off before and AA is "too big to go away".
I've been stacking CNQ, XOM, PR, EOG, and SLB since June. Basically all of them are already up 10-20% and paying 3-6% dividends even with oil prices falling off since then.
TPL is a great company, my bags just got caught in EOG and i feel like i'd be selling at absolute worst time so i'm holding onto that worthless POS
Best comment. Though you can technically do this by buying EOG, which ironically is a great 2026 pick
Nice pick, EOG looking good too
Depends on the operator. The smaller primary Delaware companies (looking at you EOG), can get away with $50. For the companies with higher overhead, even $65 is tight.
Why not some US pure Shale producer like DVN, APA, SM, OVV, EOG ?
Oil producers. $EOG $OXY $XOM
this has been my strategy for the past few months. jacked to the gills on CNQ, XOM, PR, and EOG.
great time to load up on oil stocks which are also inexplicably down too if you think the downward trend in overall market might continue. EOG, CVX, and lastly CNQ if you want something more stable are at good entry points.
M & A reports. EOG, FANG, CVX, XOM, BUI, etc.🚀
CAT, EOG, ARCC, CL and a little ACI
Conoco Phillips, Phillips 66, EOG resources, diamondback energy, Devon energy, OXY, schlumberger
Oil prices on the come up as all these operators report earnings. Interested to see where things go for CNQ, EOG, MUR, and PR.
I DCA'd a bit more into PR and EOG.
I think one of the best plays for the AI data center race is actually North American natural gas producers. The days of oversupply and 2.00 Mcf is over. EQT, CTRA, EOG, RRC
Yep quit trading and invest in shit like EOG XOM AM instead of high risk stocks hoping for the moon.
Vital, Coterra, Permian Resources, Devon, Matador, EOG, COP, Exxon, OXY... literally any Permian producer.
$EOG and $FANG are two oil majors producing entirely from non-Middle East sources. Bought $15k and $10k at open yesterday even when up 3 and 4%. More to come if the Strait of Hormuz becomes blocked
EOG - they will climb if American drilling climbs. And in the event Irans production is in halt, this will be highly likely.
✅ Top West Texas / Permian Shale Plays (like EOG) Here are some publicly traded companies with strong operations in West Texas shale, especially the Permian Basin: ⸻ 🔹 FANG — Diamondback Energy Inc. • Pure-play Permian operator (Midland & Delaware Basins) • Excellent cost discipline and cash returns • Popular on Robinhood & Webull ✔️ ⸻ 🔹 PXD — Pioneer Natural Resources • Massive Permian footprint • Acquired by ExxonMobil (XOM) — but PXD ticker may still trade during integration • High operating leverage to WTI prices • Fractional shares and extended hours supported ✔️ ⸻ 🔹 DVN — Devon Energy • Permian + Delaware Basin exposure • Strong capital return programs • Trades heavily on most retail platforms ✔️ ⸻ 🔹 OXY — Occidental Petroleum • Huge West Texas acreage • Also owns Carbon Capture assets • Backed by Berkshire Hathaway ✔️ ⸻ 🔹 XOM — ExxonMobil • Now one of the biggest Permian producers after acquiring PXD • Vertical integration + refining margins can hedge downside • Fractional shares & after-hours: ✔️ ⸻ 🔹 CVX — Chevron Corp. • Large Permian stake, including Noble acquisition • Good dividend yield and integrated operations • Supported widely by retail brokers ✔️ ⸻ Honorable Mentions: • SM Energy (SM) — smaller-cap, high-Permian exposure • Coterra Energy (CTRA) — mixed gas/oil, solid West TX presence • Matador Resources (MTDR) — high growth, West Texas shale focus
West Texas shale plays are going to be more important with any oil disruptions, EOG is another good operator in W. Texas.
Their systems is what makes EOG so unique. And it's why they always win.
yup. but there is EOG which owns a bunch of the oil producing shales. surprisingly, EOG is the best o&g producer for drilling contractors to work for because they give great bonuses to the drilling companies. even the floorhands get large bonuses.
I'll give you 10 companies with higher forward yields and much better EPS consensus forecasts. Google, Meta, Berkshire, JPM, ADBE, WM, TSM, COF, EOG, ASML. The truth is the SP500 has been infected with shitstocks and regard traders. That's why the yields are all fucked. Focus on high quality names and suddenly it seems far more normal overall.
> The top five US-based oil and gas companies by market cap, according to S&P Global — ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (CPP), EOG Resources (EOG) and Schlumberger (SLB) — have raked in more than $250 billion in profits between 2021 and 2023. That’s a 160% jump compared to the first three years of the pro-big-oil Trump administration, according to calculations by CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/11/economy/oil-industry-profits-under-biden/index.html

Final Thoughts OXY is a compelling but cyclical investment. Its Permian dominance, OxyChem stability, and CCUS potential are strengths, but revenue inconsistency and commodity exposure pose risks. The 6/10 rating reflects solid fundamentals offset by volatile growth and margins. For a 10-year horizon, investors should monitor oil prices, debt reduction, and CCUS progress. If you prioritize stability, EOG or CVX may offer better consistency; if you’re bullish on oil and CCUS, OXY’s value (P/E 13.94) is attractive.
I think some companies are getting to oversold levels - clearly the tariff impacts won’t be known but I’ve added to positions in RPM, IEX, STZ, MRK, HUBB, APO, CHDN, HCA, EOG and BLK. That’s only 10k of my portfolio though. The rest is in bonds/short term treasuries. My thesis on anything above is that either A. It’s trading at a discount to the market or its competition; B. It has reached a 5 year low and is back to COVID level; C. Has a strong competitive advantage, will benefit from reshoring or has a buttload of cash.
EOG enjoyers are in their bunks right now.
No worries, just moved my entire 401k portfolio over to EOG and OXY just to be safe. Drill baby drill
wtf is EOG? Bull run, who’s with me!?
What swings? Every small-capper that peaks once then immediately dips. Half the planet is sold on the propaganda that thinks tariffs are the equivalent of nuclear war. Look into slower volatility like FDX, AIR, EOG, ANET, ebbs and flows.
Oil and gas is cyclical. It's good to pick up when there's a crash, e.g. COVID it was a no brainer that oil would go back up at some point. However, if you want exposure to oil prices then pure shale producers like EOG or Diamondback are more purely oil. Exxon will also be driven largely by global gas prices. The big oil companies like Exxon aim more for stability and solid dividends rather than big growth.
Enron is still around. They’re just called EOG now. And they produce so….
I am looking at DVN also. One of the "positives" some analysts bring up is that it's so inexpensive right now that a buyout is a strong possibility. I agree that it seems inexpensive now. However its enterprise value right now is about $30B. So there aren't many companies that have the means to acquire them. Consider the list : XOM - bought PXD for $60B 5/24. CVX bought HES for $53B 10/23. COP bought MRO for $22B 5/24. FANG bought Endeavour for $26B 2/24. OXY bought Crown Rock for $12B 12/23. None of these are likely to do another acquisition for some time. Who does that leave? BP, Shell, Total who are all foreign and mostly acquiring "renewable" assets now and unlikely to go big in the US. The only other large enough US company is EOG, and they are averse to acquisitions. So where does that leave DVN? Likely to fend for themselves. Note that they recently did a purchase of Grayson for $5B, and their debt ballooned to $8B. On the plus side, with their huge cash flow, they can pay down debt, buy back shares, and pay a decent dividend, all at the same time. This is probably their best strategy.
It isn't influencing their decision because they're not competitors. It'd be like saying P66 is competing with EOG because they're both in oil and gas. Or Ferrari is a competitor to BYD. Or Walmart is a competitor to Gucci. They're in the same broad industry but do not compete with each other because they have different target customers.
EOG Enron Oil and Gas has been drilling for a lot of years.
UBS, Transcanada, Energy Transfer, Berkshire Hathaway, EOG Resources and Kinder Morgan
They never left lol TIL a lot of people don’t know what the E in EOG stands for Enron Oil & Gas
Technically you are not wrong. That is the last remaining operation of any significance. $EOG =)
US land and offshore production will reduce to only CHEVRON, EXXON, CONOCO, EOG (perhaps)
EOG is very active in my area in Ohio. But if oil falls they may slow it down.
Adding companies I own with profit margins >20%: QCOM, SNA, PAYX, FANG, EXR. A few others look pretty good, but I haven’t exactly done enough research, such as APD, JNJ, EOG, MRK.
We are the leading producer for now because SA has allowed the US to be. We are currently still floating in oil that was drilled pre Covid using the infrastructure built then too. Since covid: Drilling plummeted Lots of upstream drillers and service providers shut their doors Lots of midstream companies have either been bought or went out of business Droves of skilled O&G tradesmen have left the patch and not been replaced. If you think we won, drive out to midland, the heart of the Permian and see how dead the area feels compared to 2019. Drillers used cheap financing to continue an unsustainable business plan that required them to keep drilling to pay their bills because they were not profitable. I built flow lines for EOG during the Eagleford boom. I built trunk lines in the Permian, I consulted for PAALP to bring oil into Corpus and out on ships after Obama allowed US to export, I worked in the tank terminals in midland, Cushing, and SE LA. I am very familiar with how we got here. We are not in a position to maintain our production dominance if SA decides to fully flood the market again. We don’t have countless DUCTS waiting to be opened. We don’t have the pipelines or storage tanks to handle more oil and gas. It will take time to build, but the majors have cut back on CAPEX projects in order to pay investors dividends. But hey, you seem to have a great knowledge of the game since we produce more than Europe lol 😆

For your scenario of large-scale generators powered by natural gas from the Permian Basin, here are some key companies that could benefit: ### Top 3 Large-Scale Generator Companies: 1. **Caterpillar Inc.**: A leader in manufacturing industrial gas-powered generators, Caterpillar has a strong presence in natural gas-powered generators for large-scale applications, including data centers. 2. **Cummins Inc.**: Known for its broad portfolio of power generation products, Cummins is a global player in natural gas-powered generators. 3. **Wärtsilä**: This Finnish company is a global leader in energy solutions, including large-scale gas engine generators. ### Companies with Natural Gas Exposure in the Permian Basin: 1. **Pioneer Natural Resources** 2. **EOG Resources** 3. **Occidental Petroleum**
I'm looking to do the same with EOG or DVN (strong earnings+dividend and buybacks). I have started with VRN too which i think is undervalued, but the options aren't well structured.

Like you said cvs has stores on every corner, however they plan closing 10% of their stores over the next 2.5 years. Most of the customers will just go to another nearby store but some will switch to online orders from Amazon or go to their local Walmart/costco. So their revenue will probably drop even more, admittedly their margins will probably increase since the closing stores aren’t as profitable. If you want cheap I’ll offer some recs that I’ve been looking at: Banking: $MFC 9 Forward PE and 4.84% dividend. $TD 9.5 forward PE and 5.3% dividend. $TFC I own already and has an 11 forward PE and 5.1% dividend. All three have been pretty beat up bc of the rate hikes and real estate issues, but all have solid financials and can make a good comeback. TFC is also unwinding their commercial real estate and making better investments. Consumer: ASO with a 7 PE and 1% dividend, LOW and HD with a 18 and 20 PE and 2.0/2.6% div. A couple random companies: EOG 10 PE and 3% div. AER that has a beautiful 5.8 PE and 1.1% dividend. Honorable mention to SBUX a higher 20 PE and 3% div
$EOG.tsx Good Namibian oil play. The companies involved in the Orange basin are going to boom. Got my hands in $SEI as well!
Years ago (maybe 15-17) I bought naked OTM calls on individual oil and NG stocks based in the Gulf. Devon, Apache, EOG, and a few others. Expiry in 2-4 weeks. Doubled and tripled a couple of times, 2 hurricanes hit. As others have said, it’s a crap shoot. GL!

EOG now that diamondback bought endeavor
Look at EOG. Their yield is about 2.7% but that is if they only pay divs in Jan, Apr, July, and Oct. in the past, they have paid divs in other months on top of their regularly scheduled ones (in 2022 they paid divs 8 different months and in 2023, they paid divs 6 different months).
These are my current positions: PBF, DINO, MPC, SM, PXD, EOG, MRO, DVN, APA.
