EOG Resources (EOG): Reassessing Valuation After Raymond James’ Bullish Call and Strong Q3 Execution

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Raymond James is doubling down on its upbeat stance toward EOG Resources (EOG) after third quarter results showed production, EBITDA, and free cash flow all meeting or beating expectations, supported by leaner costs and lower cash taxes.

See our latest analysis for EOG Resources.

Even with that stronger third quarter story and new international wells in Bahrain and soon the UAE, EOG’s share price return is still negative year to date. Its five year total shareholder return near 166 percent shows the longer term compounding story is intact, and current momentum looks more like a pause than a breakdown.

If EOG’s mixed near term moves have you thinking about diversification, this could be a good moment to explore aerospace and defense stocks as another pocket of potential opportunity.

With earnings still growing, a sizable discount to analyst targets, and fresh international optionality, is EOG Resources quietly undervalued today, or is the market already pricing in its next leg of production-led growth?
