EOG RESOURCES, INC. vs Woodside Energy Group Ltd, two Oil & Gas stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Operating margin frames this pair: EOG at 37.5%, premium US shale economics, against Woodside's 30%, Australian LNG. EOG earns far more on equity, 17.8% against 6.87%, its low-cost drilling beating LNG's capital-heavy development returns. Both run light-to-no debt. Woodside yields more free cash, 20% against 15.1%, and pays through a policy that varies with the gas cycle; EOG pays a steady 3% dividend. The multiples sit close, 13 and 13.2 times. Two resource producers on different molecules, US shale oil against Australian gas; EOG's returns are higher and its costs lower, Woodside's cash yield fatter and its Asian-demand exposure distinct, and the market prices both as cheap resource holdings within a fraction of a turn.
