Re: EOG Resources Q1 Results
I have updated my forecast/valuation model for EOG Resources. It will be posted to the EPG website on May 6.
I have increased my valuation of EOG by $11/share to $149.00, primarily because I have increased the oil price in my forecasts. This compares to First Call's Price Target of $126.80.
It is going to take all of the Wall Street Gang that cover EOG a few weeks to update their forecast models and submit new price targets to Reuters. Only Doug Leggate at Merrill Lynch has updated his forecast. His valuation is $130.00/share.
EOG closed at $114.66 on May 4.
EOG is on-track for 16% to 18% YOY production growth in 2018 and they have 15% to 20% annual production growth locked in for several years.
> Cash flow from operations should exceed their 2018 CapEx budget by $1.7 to $2.0 Billion.
Q1 EPS and CFPS beat my forecast and most of the Wall Street Gang's forecasts, but production was down slightly Q to Q. That is why the share price dipped. Use the ignorance of Wall Street to add this Elite Eight company to your portfolio. EOG is a World Class company with extremely valuable real estate.
Production will accelerate into year-end.

Re: EOG Resources Q1 Results
Using your “break up valuation” methodology, why does the multiple matter whether they are paying down debt or buying back stock? Are you indicating they are overlevered?
Re: EOG Resources Q1 Results
Because the debt would have to be paid off in a takeover.
EOG is not over-levered. They have extremely valuable leasehold, most of which is HBP.
