Company Guidance

EOG’s 2026 guidance reiterates unchanged capital spending of $6.5 billion while targeting 5% oil production growth and 14% total production growth for the year; at strip pricing and guidance midpoints the plan is expected to generate about $8 billion of free cash flow and delivers a WTI breakeven below $50/bbl. Second‑quarter results (adjusted EPS $5.07, adjusted cash flow from operations per share $8.29, and record free cash flow of $2.8 billion) supported returning just over $1.8 billion to shareholders in Q2 ($540 million regular dividend, $1.3 billion repurchases) and a reiteration to return at least 70% of annual FCF in 2026, with $11.7 billion of buyback authority remaining; balance sheet at quarter end was $4.9 billion cash and $3.0 billion net debt. Operations came in above the guidance midpoint (total volumes higher; nearly 500 bopd from UAE), Q2 capex was below the guidance midpoint, and the company expects low single‑digit well cost reductions this year while reporting basin unit costs such as Delaware direct well costs averaging < $710/ft (down $15/ft YTD), Eagle Ford < $525/ft, Utica < $600/ft, Dorado < $700/ft; midstream/upside metrics include Janus 300 MMcf/d capacity (expandable +300 MMcf/d) with >99% utilization and >$0.65/Mcf netback uplift and Verde netback uplift ~$0.50/Mcf.
