About APA Corp
APA Corporation is an independent company that explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Its operations include assets in the United States, Egypt and the North Sea, and exploration activity offshore Suriname. Revenue comes from selling the oil and gas it produces at market prices, so results depend on commodity prices, production volumes and the cost of drilling and operating.
Return on invested capital is 29%. Net debt to EBITDA is 0.5 times. It pays a dividend with a yield of 2.0%. The X-Ray Score is 69 out of 100. Return on invested capital describes how much profit the business earns relative to the money put into it. The X-Ray Score is a summary rating of the company's financial profile, expressed out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies like Apple). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate

Data under review
+0.0% to fair value
Equal blend of three models: peer multiples, a fundamentals-adjusted multiple (growth, ROIC and margin) and a 10-year DCF scaled to the market's average. Earnings-power value (no growth) is a floor and not part of the blend. Model uncertainty is High, so the safety margin is 40%.
