APA Corporation is an $11.5 billion market cap U.S. and international oil & gas producer with a 3.2% dividend yield. Current operations are in the U.S., Egypt, and offshore UK. APA's acquisition of Callon Petroleum reinforces its Permian Basin position with oilier assets. The company has been impacted by lower natural gas prices. But gas demand, and prices, are improving. The company's exploration has given it interesting optionality offshore Suriname, with production there perhaps as early as 2027.
APA announces the divestiture of non-core properties for more than $700 million, aiming to reduce debt by the third quarter of 2024 and focus on high-value projects.
