APA Earnings: Stronger Commodity Prices Boost Our Fair Value Estimate Amid Good Quarter
APA delivered strong results, with production volumes of 405 thousand barrels per day (mboe/d) in 2023 just below the midpoint of guidance. We continue to see APA as extremely undervalued, and after refreshing our near-term commodity price forecast, we are increasing our fair value estimate to $65 from $61. The strength of the portfolio including Suriname provides ample opportunity for organic growth in the next few years even as it constrains potential cash returns to shareholders.
