Description: APA APA

APA Corporation (NASDAQ: APA) is an independent energy firm that explores, develops, and produces natural gas, crude oil, and natural-gas liquids across the United States, Egypt, and the North Sea, with additional exploration in Suriname and project interests in Uruguay and elsewhere. Founded in 1954 and based in Houston, Texas, APA operates within the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sub-industry.

In its most recent quarter (Q4 2025), APA reported average production of 210 k boe/d, a 8% rise versus the prior year, driven largely by higher output in the Eagle Ford and North Sea assets. Net cash flow reached $1.2 billion, supporting a 2.5% dividend yield and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6. The company’s earnings are increasingly tied to natural-gas price dynamics, with U.S. Henry Hub gas trading near $3.10 /MMBtu-up 12% YoY-thanks to growing LNG export demand and constrained pipeline capacity.
