Smart Score is a compound score for the Company indicating its overall outlook. It is derived by taking an equally weighted average of underlying Factor scores computed by Smartkarma

APA Corporation, an oil and gas company, has a mixed long-term outlook based on the Smartkarma Smart Scores. While the company scores high in Growth and Momentum, indicating potential for expansion and positive market performance, it falls short in Value and Resilience. This suggests that APA may face challenges in terms of financial stability and may not be considered a strong investment in the current market.

Despite its high scores in Dividend and Growth, APA Corporation’s overall outlook remains uncertain. With a focus on exploration and production of oil and gas properties, the company serves clients globally. Investors should carefully consider the Smartkarma Smart Scores, particularly the lower scores in Value and Resilience, before making any decisions regarding APA’s long-term prospects in the oil and gas industry.
