Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of EOG Resources
So what: Revenue jumped to $2.9 billion, nearly doubling the quarter from a year ago. But more impressively, earnings per share excluding special items increased to $0.83, higher than the $0.78 analysts were expecting.
Now what: Management has been happy with better-than-expected production in Eagle Ford, and the company is accelerating exploration in the Bakken shale. I see nothing to complain about here and think the future looks bright with expanded exploration. I'm bullish on EOG going forward as shale plays become a bigger and bigger portion of our energy landscape.
