- 3 Reasons Why Growth Investors Shouldn't Overlook EOG Resources (EOG)
May 11, 2026
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.
That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.
However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.
EOG Resources (EOG) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.
Research shows that stocks carrying the best growth features consistently beat the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).
While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this oil and gas company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:
Earnings Growth
Arguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for EOG Resources is 7.8%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 45.8% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 45%.
Impressive Asset Utilization Ratio
Asset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric exhibits how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.
Right now, EOG Resources has an S/TA ratio of 0.47, which means that the company gets $0.47 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.36, it can be said that the company is more efficient.
While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And EOG Resources is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 21.5% this year versus the industry average of 7.6%.
Story Continues
Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions
Beyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The current-year earnings estimates for EOG Resources have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 15.1% over the past month.
Bottom Line
EOG Resources has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #1 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination positions EOG Resources well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

- 4 Dividend Energy Stocks to Buy in May
May 11, 2026
Just over four months into 2026, and it's not a stretch to say the daily barrage of oil price headlines wears out investors. To put things succinctly, the war in Iran (yes, you've heard this before) pushed crude prices higher.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures are down 16.6% for the month ending May 7 but are hovering around $95 a barrel late on May 7. That's still too high because it's demand-destructive and likely to weigh on the upcoming summer travel season. That's the bad news, but the good news is that energy investors are reaping rewards.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »This quartet of oil dividend stocks is worth examining this month. Image source: Getty Images.
The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEMKT: XLE) is up 39.4% year to date. On top of that, the bellwether energy exchange-traded fund (ETF) carries a dividend yield of 2.67%, or more than double what investors earn on an S&P 500 index fund. Speaking of payouts, 82 energy stocks trading in the U.S. yield 3%. Here's a "barrel" of four worth examining this month.
Angles on Antero
Antero Midstream (NYSE: AM) is part of an expansive group of pipeline stocks with tempting dividend yields. In this case, we're talking 4.3%. The door may be ajar for value hunters with Antero, as the shares are off 6.3 over the past month, with roughly half of that loss accruing over the past week, indicating investors were dissatisfied with the company's first-quarter earnings update delivered on April 29.
The post-earnings decline may be a symptom of flat year-over-year net income, but a close examination of the results reveals some green shoots. For example, gathering volumes jumped 14% from the year-earlier period, while free cash flow increased by 8%. Plus, Antero repurchased $18 million worth of its shares during the quarter.
This midstream energy company has $318 million remaining on an existing buyback program, and Q1 marked the 46th consecutive quarter in which Antero has paid a dividend since its November 2014 initial public offering (IPO). The point is that Antero prioritizes returning capital to investors in two forms.
Chevron: Dividend reliability in the oil patch
When it comes to energy-sector dividend reliability, Chevron (NYSE: CVX) is nearly unrivaled. The yield of 3.8% is appealing, particularly relative to the broader sector and the S&P 500, but even more impressive is a streak of 39 consecutive years of payout increases. The implication there is that this dividend isn't highly sensitive to oil prices.
Story Continues
Regarding oil prices, that issue is primary near-term headwind or tailwind to Chevron stock. The aforementioned decline in crude prices sent this stock down 5.3% over the past month, but that retrenchment isn't a threat to shareholder rewards.
At its November 2025 investor day, Chevron forecast capital spending and dividend "breakeven" below $50 per barrel in Brent crude terms through 2030. The company also noted that it has repurchased shares in 18 of the prior 22 years and that it will retire $10 billion to $20 billion of its shares per year through 2030 at average Brent prices of $60 to $80. Brent traded around $102.50 on May 7, suggesting Chevron's shareholder rewards are likely safe in the long term.
For a big yield, meet MPLX
MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) is a midstream shale operator with an eye-catching dividend yield of 8.3%. That certainly puts this energy into the conversation about high-yield dividend stocks, particularly the energy variety, but investors don't need to worry about it being a yield trap.
In the first quarter, MPLX generated adjusted free cash flow of $549 million, and its distribution of $1.07 per share was covered by 1.3x. Plus, the company concluded the quarter with $1.5 billion in cash and access to another $3.5 billion in liquidity. Alone, the cash-on-hand war chest implies the distribution is safe, if not in a position to grow.
And for good measure, MPLX bought $50 million worth of stock in the first three months and has $1.1 billion remaining on its buyback plan, confirming it has avenues to reduce its shares outstanding count while boosting earnings.
Examining EOG
EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) has also been stung by oil's recent pullback, not surprising given that it is an exploration and production company, but that retrenchment could prove to be a buying opportunity. When it delivered Q1 results on May 5, EOG told investors it expects to slightly increase 2026 production of oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) while keeping spending unchanged at $6.5 billion.
EOG, which yields 3.2%, spent nearly $1 billion in the first three months of the year on buybacks and dividends, and those efforts are not taxing it because it generated $1.5 billion in free cash flow during that period.
While EOG isn't the highest yielder in the oil patch, it's arguably one of the safer dividend payers in the group. Its payout increase streak is approaching a decade, and it concluded the March quarter with $3.85 billion in cash, giving it one of the strongest balance sheets among domestic independent energy producers.

EOG Resources (EOG) is well positioned to outperform the market, as it exhibits above-average growth in financials.
- California Resources Q1 Earnings Beat on Strong Oil Prices
May 11, 2026
California Resources Corporation CRC posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 88 cents per share, down 17.8% year over year but ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6%. Total operating revenues before net commodity-derivative impacts were $967 million, up 6% year over year and ahead of the consensus mark by 7.2%.
Results reflected CRC’s oil-weighted production base and strong realizations. Net production averaged 154 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), with oil representing 81% of volumes.
CRC's Derivative Loss Masks Underlying Profit
On a GAAP basis, CRC reported a net loss of $711 million, primarily tied to a non-cash loss in the fair value of outstanding commodity derivatives. That swing in mark-to-market results dominated the income statement even as operating performance tracked well with management’s expectations.
Excluding those unusual and non-cash items, CRC generated adjusted net income of $79 million. Adjusted EBITDAX came in at $304 million, underscoring the company’s ability to translate a firmer Brent backdrop into stronger core cash earnings.

California Resources' Pricing Strength Supports Quarter
California Resources continued to benefit from favorable oil pricing during the quarter. The company’s average realized oil price was $74.53 per barrel before the impact of hedging, closely tracking Brent crude prices. After including hedging impacts, the realized price came to $69.37 per barrel.
Pricing for other products also remained healthy. The company received nearly $45 per barrel for natural gas liquids, while natural gas prices averaged $3.56 per Mcf. These results were supported by CRC’s regional market exposure and pricing strategy.
CRC's Cost Base Reflects Timing Items and Operating Mix
California Resources reported total operating costs of $365 million for the quarter. Administrative expenses came in higher than expected at $106 million, mainly due to legal-related costs and increased employee compensation linked to the company’s rising share price.
Other expenses also affected quarterly results. Taxes excluding income taxes totaled $67 million, while transportation expenses were $26 million. Other operating expenses, after adjusting for related revenues, came to $44 million. At the same time, the company benefited from some additional income sources, including $18 million from commodity marketing activities and $6 million from electricity-related operations.

California Resources' Resilient Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
California Resources continued to generate healthy cash flow during the quarter, even as spending increased to prepare for higher activity later in the year. The company generated $247 million in operating cash flow before working-capital changes, while free cash flow came in at $116 million. Total capital spending was $131 million, mainly related to drilling, well maintenance and facility upgrades to support future production growth.
The company also strengthened its balance sheet by refinancing part of its debt. CRC issued $350 million in new long-term notes and used the proceeds to repay higher-interest debt due earlier. It ended the quarter with solid liquidity of about $1.3 billion and maintained a relatively low debt level compared to earnings, with a net leverage of 1.1X on a last-12-month adjusted EBITDAX basis.
CRC Raises 2026 Targets on Activity Ramp and Synergies
California Resources increased its full-year forecast as it plans to ramp up drilling activity in the second half of 2026. The company expects to operate seven drilling rigs later this year, including six in California and one in Utah. CRC also expects production to gradually rise through the year, ending 2026 at around 175 MBoe/d.
The Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) company raised guidance for several important financial measures. CRC now expects stronger production, higher earnings and increased investment spending in 2026. It also increased its expected cost savings from the Berry merger to $90-$100 million annually. At the same time, ongoing efficiency improvements and consolidation of operations are helping reduce certain infrastructure-related spending.
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
California Resources Advances CCS and Data Center Optionality
Beyond its oil and gas operations, California Resources highlighted continued progress in its carbon management business. The company completed the construction of its carbon capture and storage project at the Elk Hills gas plant and is now awaiting final approval from the EPA to begin injecting and storing carbon dioxide underground. Management views this as an important milestone for the project and for carbon capture efforts in California.
CRC also pointed to growing interest in its Elk Hills “powered land” strategy. A major data center developer is investing millions of dollars to help prepare the site and speed up permitting work. The company believes its combination of natural gas supply, available land and carbon capture capabilities could help meet rising electricity demand from AI-related data centers.
A Look at Some Other E&P Earnings
While we have discussed CRC’s first-quarter results in detail, let’s take a look at some other upstream energy reports of this season.
EOG Resources EOG posted adjusted earnings of $3.41 per share, up 18.8% from the year-ago level of $2.87. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings of $3.07 by 11.1%. EOG’s total revenues of $6.9 billion increased 22.1% year over year and beat the consensus mark of $6.3 billion. Strong quarterly results were supported by higher production, with total crude-oil-equivalent volumes averaging 1,383.8 MBoe/d in the quarter, reflecting strong production execution.
Cost control helped keep the earnings flow-through intact even as activity remained elevated. Lease and well expenses were $462 million, and depreciation, depletion and amortization were $1.19 billion. For investors, the quarter reinforced that EOG’s earnings power is being driven by a combination of operating scale and steady expense execution.
Diamondback Energy FANG reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $4.23, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.55, driven by strong production. However, the company’s bottom line declined from the year-ago adjusted profit of $4.54. The underperformance was due to a 91.5% drop in the year-over-year realized natural gas prices. Diamondback’s production of oil and natural gas averaged 979.4 MBoe/d, comprising 53.2% oil.
Diamondback Energy logged $933 million in capital expenditure — spending $784 million on operated drilling and completion additions to oil and natural gas properties, and $149 million on non-operated additions. The company booked $1.7 billion in adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter.
W&T Offshore WTI posted break-even first-quarter 2026 earnings per share compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 2 cents. Revenues of $150 million beat the consensus mark of $137 million by 9.5% and increased 15.5% year over year. Operationally, W&T Offshore turned in average sales volumes of 36.2 MBoe/d (53% liquids), keeping output near the top end of guidance despite adverse weather. The quarter also featured sharply lower lease operating expenses per barrel, helping support a meaningful step-up in profitability measures such as adjusted EBITDA.
Production growth remained a key operational theme. W&T Offshore said first-quarter output increased 19% from the year-ago period, supported by contributions from prior acquisitions and continued execution across its Gulf of America asset base.
