EOG Resources stock (US26875P1012) traded around $145 on September 1, 2026, with a market value near $76.08 billion and a gain of about 38.16 percent year to date, according to MarketBeat and MarketScreener data. The latest close cited in the market notes was $143.35, while one intraday snapshot showed $145.04.

Oil price strength supports the tape

Reuters reported on September 1, 2026, that U.S. stock indexes opened lower as higher yields and rising oil prices weighed on sentiment. In that setting, energy shares including EOG Resources were among the names in focus, and CNBC said EOG Resources advanced more than 1 percent in premarket trading.

The stock was also described as trading above its 50-day moving average of $140.45 and its 200-day moving average of $136.58, a setup that keeps the chart constructive without changing the fact that valuation is already richer than earlier in the year.

Quarterly numbers stay central

Investing.com said EOG Resources reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $5.70 per share versus $4.99 expected, while revenue reached $8.62 billion against a $7.99 billion estimate. On a reported basis, earnings came in at $5.07 per share.

That combination matters because it gives the current share price a hard fundamental anchor. The same report also framed the stock as changing hands near its 52-week high of $153.67, while year-to-date gains were put at more than 41 percent in the trading note.

Stock level near resistance

As of August 31, 2026, the most recent quoted price in the market notes was $143.35, and another snapshot put the share at $145.00. That leaves EOG Resources stock below the cited 52-week high of $153.67 but well above the 2026 opening-level gains described in the same trading coverage.
