APA Corporation (APA)

APA Corp.'s stock price surged over 40% in March 2026 due to rising Brent crude prices and positive updates from Suriname, but dropped 9.6% on April 8, 2026, due to de-escalation signals in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Over the last 12 months, APA Corp.'s stock price has risen by 156.85%. The acquisition of Callon Petroleum for $4.5 billion in stock in April 2024, bolstered its position in the Permian Basin.

Demand for APA Corp.'s products is subject to seasonality, with natural gas prices peaking in anticipation of cold-weather heating consumption and crude oil demand generally appreciating during the North American spring/summer due to increased demand for refined fuels. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are also impacted by seasonality. Production can also be affected by seasonal factors, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.
