APA Corporation: Strong Q3 Performance and Cost Reductions Offset by Caution on Operational Consistency and Market RisksAPA had one of the strongest 3Q25 updates within our coverage, with an earnings beat on strong operational performance, while acceleration in its cost-out program further improves the forward outlook. Continued efficiency gains in the Permian are driving a $150mm reduction in our FY26 D&C forecast for the same production, while cost savings and gas volume growth in Egypt should offset the ~$20mm/qtr cash flow impact from the absence of backlog cost recovery beginning in 2Q26, all pointing to higher FCF/ boe. However, we remain Neutral as we think continued operational execution will likely be needed before a re-rating towards the Peer group can occur, while there is still material ARO/decommissioning spend making them more exposed to oil price declines.

APA's Strong Performance and Cost-Cutting Measures Drive Positive Outlook, But Hold Rating Reflects Caution Amid Long-Term UncertaintiesWe expect initial wells on the new acreage in 4Q. Egyptian production of 75 MBOED (adjusted) was 2% above our model, primarily helped by infrastructure optimization that delivered more gas. APA guides to 100 MMcf/D of YoY gas growth in at higher realized pricing of ~$3.90/Mcf vs. $3.55/Mcf prior.
