With a market cap of $66.6 billion, EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) is an energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production, and marketing of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas. Its operations span major producing areas throughout the United States as well as the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and other international locations.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and EOG Resources fits that criteria perfectly. In addition to the above activities, the company provides crude oil and condensate services along with gathering, processing, and marketing operations.
Shares of the leading oil and gas producer are down 4.9% from a 52-week high of $130.52. EOG stock is up 16.8% over the past three months, outpacing the 3.3% rise in the broader Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) over the same time frame.
EOG stock is up 18.2% on a YTD basis, outperforming the DOWI’s 1.9% gain. Longer-term, shares of EOG Resources have fallen 5% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the Dow Jones’ 13.3% return over the same time frame.
Still, EOG stock has shown an uptrend, trading above its 50-day moving average since late January and its 200-day moving average since early February.
Shares of EOG Resources fell nearly 1% after its 2025 Q4 results on February 24. Net income fell sharply to $701 million ($1.30) from $1.47 billion ($2.70 per share) in Q3 2025, while total revenue fell to $5.65 billion from $5.65 billion.

In comparison, competitor Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) is ahead of EOG stock. OXY stock is up 29.1% on a YTD basis and 9.1% over the past year.
Despite EOG’s underperformance compared to the Dow over the past year, analysts are moderately optimistic about its prospects. The stock has an overall consensus rating of “moderate buy” from 33 analysts and an average price target of $134.66, an 8.5% premium to current levels.
