EOG Resources is sliding as global oil prices tumble, after Brent and WTI crude dropped sharply when President Trump announced a provisional ceasefire with Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The geopolitical shift has sparked a broad energy-sector sell-off, weighing heavily on the stock.
Analysts at firms such as KeyCorp and Wolfe Research had recently raised their earnings expectations for EOG, but these upgrades are being overshadowed by the macro-driven retreat in oil. As a result, the current move appears tied far more to sector and commodity pressures than to any change in the company’s own outlook.
