How EOG Resources, Inc. scores

The Quality Score for EOG stands at 6.9 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts EOG Resources, Inc. in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls EOG Resources, Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.

Among the 87 Energy companies with a published score, that ranks at the 92nd percentile, among the top tenth of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 5.9. EOG Resources, Inc. is well above that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, EOG Resources, Inc. scores 9.4, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.5 across 84 Energy companies, which places it well above them, at the 96th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.

Solvency

Solvency scores 9.2 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 79 Energy companies is 6.5, so EOG Resources, Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 92nd percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.

Growth

On growth, EOG Resources, Inc. scores 4.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.2 across 66 Energy companies, which places it below them, at the 26th percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.

Efficiency

EOG Resources, Inc.’s efficiency score is 5.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.5 among 81 Energy companies, that is in line with the group and the 53rd percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.

Predictability

On predictability, EOG Resources, Inc. scores 4.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 3.1 across 86 Energy companies, which places it well above them, at the 84th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between EOG Resources, Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 9.4 against growth at 4.0, 5.4 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.

What would move the score

Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Energy companies, 5.2, EOG Resources, Inc. would score about 7.1 instead of 6.9. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and EOG Resources, Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
