The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Apache Corp APA-Q TOP PICK Aug 07, 2025

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

APA recently surprised analysts with revenues beating expectations by 26% and EPS beating by 93%. Revenues were over $500 million higher, allowing an aggressive amount of debt to be retired. It trades at 6x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a ROE of 26%. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $15.00) to $16.50, looking to achieve $23.50 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 5.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $23.25)

TOP PICK

Likes the energy area. Expects more exploration and drilling. Trading at around 13 X earnings. Well poised to take advantage of some activity.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Natural gas. In the long term he likes it but in the short term he would avoid.

TOP PICK

His model price is $117.68, a 46.5% upside. An opportunity to buy this at book value.

COMMENT

They decided they would not go forward with the LNG project. They are looking to spin out that project. Depending on what happens with LNG tax in BC, there could be value there.

TOP PICK

The company is working on being really nice and lean. They divested some holdings that they didn’t want and are going to be looking to acquire other companies.

BUY

The chart looks to have a really long double bottom pattern. The chart shows a nice up trend from February with some pretty big swings. You have to have some fortitude and you want to be with the best group. You have to be prepared for some volatility. He would be pretty comfortable buying this today, but you have to be ready as oil can change around.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 18/16. Down 2%.) Got out of all his pure energy plays last October. He is just now starting to raise his energy component, and this would be a good one now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 18/16. Down 8.31%.) He sold this and got about 5.5% from it.

SELL

Was a spec buy. He'd rather buy SLB, because with more drilling, he wants to be in the picks and shovels.
