EOG Resources stock (ISIN US26875P1012) was last at USD 141.44 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, while its 52-week range stood at USD 101.59 to USD 154.16. On October 5, Investing.com reported that Jefferies raised its target to USD 185 from USD 175 and kept a Buy rating.

Jefferies lifts the target

The revised target sits 30.8 percent above EOG Resources stock's October 2 price. Jefferies linked its view to cost progress and expects cash flow per share of USD 8.20, which the report said was 13 percent above consensus.

The analyst view also contains a counter-factor. Jefferies expects third-quarter completions data in the Delaware Basin to show declining productivity because of allocation, while it expects the 2027 budget to remain flat year over year.

Quarterly figures set the base

EOG Resources delivered adjusted EPS of USD 5.70 in Q2 2026, above the USD 4.99 consensus estimate, according to Investing.com. Revenue reached USD 8.62 billion versus USD 7.99 billion expected, giving the current valuation a stronger operating backdrop than the share price alone suggests.

The company maintained its outlook after the quarter, including 5 percent oil production growth for 2026, USD 6.5 billion in capital spending and USD 8.0 billion in free cash flow, as reported by Investing.com.

The stock's market capitalization was USD 74.19 billion on October 2, 2026. With a 52-week high of USD 154.16, the October 2 close was 8.3 percent below that level, leaving production execution and commodity sensitivity as the central valuation variables.
