Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. APA beat production guidance and lowered full-year LOE guidance while raising U.S. oil production guidance to 123,000 bbl/d, lifted its 2026 cost-savings target to $500 million, and advanced its exploration portfolio with the pending Savant Alaska acquisition and Eni partnership in Uruguay.
Bullish
- + Raised full-year U.S. oil production guidance to 123,000 bbl/d while holding U.S. capital at $1.3 billion
- + Lowered full-year LOE guidance by $25 million to $1.5 billion on continued cost savings
- + Raised 2026 exit run-rate cost-savings target to $500 million from prior $450 million
- + Q2 U.S. oil production of 123,500 bbl/d beat guidance by 2,500 bbl/d on Permian efficiency gains
- + Advanced exploration portfolio with pending Savant Alaska acquisition and Eni partnership in Uruguay Block 6
- + Generated $738 million of Q2 free cash flow and $1.2 billion H1 free cash flow, supporting debt reduction and shareholder returns
Bearish
- − Egypt gross gas production outlook reduced as some lower-pressure gas volumes were deferred at Kosser
- − Next Suriname Block 58 exploration well slipped from late Q4 2026 into 2027, reducing near-term exploration activity
